Changing Places Case Study: Doncaster Cycle Track

Leading The Pack

Doncaster Cycle Track is a world-class cycling facility based at Doncaster Dome. Since opening to the public in 2019, the 1km long circuit has provided both recreational and competitive routes for cyclists as well as an opportunity for the whole family to cycle together in a safe environment.

The track attracts a wide range of visitors from beginners to elite racers and has become a popular attraction for many. And thanks to funds allocated from Doncaster Council – secured via the government’s £30m Changing Places initiative – Doncaster Culture & Leisure Trust (DCLT) was able to further enhance their leading attraction with the installation of a new modular Changing Places toilet.

Time Trial: Four Week Programme

The DCLT brief was simple: Install a high-quality modular facility as fast as possible. We happily obliged — building, delivering, and installing a new Changing Places within four-weeks, including all groundworks and enabling works. The build was quick, though there was no compromise on quality, as Chris Hone, Head of Commercial Development at DCLT explains:

“We’re really happy with the finished product and I can’t fault the RISE team — they did exactly what was promised, on-time and on-budget.”

The four-week build programme included the three-week build of a CP Pod at our Doncaster premises, whilst groundworks (including all excavation, concrete foundations, and services connections) were complete in week three, ready for the pod delivery. The prefab facility was craned into position in week four, then commissioned and handed over onsite the same week.

The finished pod features 12m2 floorspace, 2.4m ceiling height, premium equipment throughout, and everything necessary to register as a Changing Places.
