Spaciotempo Provides Car Showroom for Peugeot


Customers visiting one of the UK’s leading
dealerships have complemented staff on its
interim car showroom.


Staff at Peugeot dealers Robins & Day say that
a stream of visitors have remarked on the
quality and appearance of the temporary
building, which was installed at the
dealership’s flagship site in Coventry.
Robins & Day, which operates 36 sites across
the country and has a turnover of £500m, has
taken up residence in the building while its
new multi-million pound dealership takes
shape at the city’s iconic Kenpas Highway site.


It is one of a number of Robins & Day sites
currently using our buildings, which have
also been installed during renovation work
at its dealerships in Stockport and Preston.
Each one is supplied from our off-the-shelf
TempAstor range and offers either 150 sq
m or 200 sq m of floorspace - roughly the
size of a tennis court.
All of them are 4.2m high at the eaves,
giving the showrooms a light, airy feel, and
have been provided with doors and large
windows, office partitioning, full electrical
and heating packages and temporary
toilets and canteen areas.
They also carry extensive corporate
branding and have thermo roofs, which are
made from translucent fabric and allow in a
large amount of natural daylight, which
reduces running costs and energy
consumption.

The Coventry site also has another 100 sqm
TempAstor building, which it is using as a garage show room.

It's safety first as Crewe Alexandra FC extends its players' tunnel


Football League One side Crewe Alexandra FC has underlined its commitment to ensuring match-days stay safe by increasing the length of the players' tunnel.

The club has added a four metre retractable extension to an existing tunnel at the Alexandra Stadium, creating a covered walkway for players and officials stretching from the stand to the pitch-side.

The extension has been provided by us, and we also supplied the original tunnel some years ago.

Bradford College Boxing Gym



Boasting three boxing rings, a full range of
hitting equipment, mirrors and weights the
hall has proved popular with young boxers.
The Academy has become one of a handful
designated High Performance Boxing
Centres across the UK It will also act as a
pre-Games training base for a number of
Olympic boxing teams.

It is, in short, a significant addition to
Yorkshire’s sporting scene and a proud
example of the London 2012 legacy, yet it
quite easily might never have ever got off
the ground.

Just a year ago, the Academy was dividing
its time between four venues operated by
other organisations. It had a long waiting
list, limited funding and, with the Olympics
fast approaching, little chance to take part.

Constructed using an anodised aluminium
frame in-filled with steel-clad sandwich
panels, the hall was manufactured and
supplied by us and, although it could
theoretically be removed as easily as it has
been erected, it is designed to last for many
years. It is manufactured to comply with
British and EEC safety standards for
structural integrity, fire and safety codes, as
well as British Standards for wind and snow
loading.

We laid the concrete base, installed a
semi-translucent roof, which allows in
daylight to save lighting costs, and fitted a
host of other amenities, including a
temperature control system. The whole cost
of the project was £300,000 which,
according to figures from Sport England,
shows a significant saving. The average cost
of a similar-sized sports hall, based on
typical schemes funded last year, would be
around the £1m mark – more than three
times as expensive.

Spaciotempo UK's know-how conquers an uphill task at Chesterfield

We have just finished one the most complicated jobs the company has ever attempted; building a temporary market hall on behalf of Chesterfield Town Council, which wanted somewhere to house 14 traders while the town's existing hall undergoes a £3.6m facelift. 

The hall has been built on an open space called New Square but, thanks to the Square's cobbled surface, historic plane trees and sloping surface, the installation process was far from straightforward.
