How To Design A Sports Changing Room

Posted in Blog

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding upon the size and design of your new or refurbished Sports Changing Rooms. Obviously, a key factor in many circumstances is the overall cost of the project, so getting the right balance is essential.

Our team have created a variety of different designs of sports changing rooms with floor plans that comply with the majority of applicable regulations, specifically as recommended by Sport England and/or stipulated by The Football Association for Football League clubs.

Principal considerations to be taken into account

• Bench space for changing. This should be at least 500mm in length per player and 450mm deep.
• Changing Room area space. For Football League Clubs this should be a minimum of 18 square metres per Team and 6 square metres for Officials excluding space occupied by toilets and showers.
• Number of Showers. Technically there should be a minimum of three showers per team for Football Clubs, but more or less can be provided based upon likely usage in non-regulated circumstances.
• Mixed Gender Changing Room Facilities. All of our Mixed Gender Sports Changing Room designs include private shower enclosures for female use and most feature a multi-shower enclosure for male use.
• Other Facilities. We have designs featuring other facilities which may or may not be relevant to your club:
  • Medical Room?
  • Physio Room?
  • Specator Facilities?
  • Disabled Toilet and/or Shower Facilities?
  • Club Social Area with Kitchen?

Examples of popular Changing Room Floor Plan Layouts:

21.4m x 3.6m 2-Team Changing Rooms with dual gender separate facilities for Officials.
