Dates set for the opening of the Mildenhall Hub

Mildenhall Hub is set to open up over the coming weeks with a rolling programme due to start on Monday, May 24

As well as providing better facilities such as the school and leisure provision, the multi-million-pound complex  will see partners in education, health, leisure and other services working collaboratively.

Mildenhall College Academy will move from Bury Road and welcome students to the new facilities at the Hub on Sheldrick Way on June 14.

The new Mildenhall Library will now open a week later than originally planned on June 1.

The gym, fitness studios and 3G pitch are also scheduled to open to the public from June 1 with the pools and sports hall aiming to open during the following week. Other facilities in the Hub will then open in a rolling programme over the rest of the summer.

Hub partners will be confirming to their customers and users the details of the opening of their facilities and services.

Once fully open the Hub will offer a new school, two new pools, a gym, 3G outdoor pitch, fitness studios and a sports hall, alongside a new town library, health centre, children’s centre and job centre. The Hub also features office space for the NHS, police, Suffolk County Council and West Suffolk Council.

A spokesperson for R G Carter said: “We are proud of the way in which our supply chain partners continue to work under strict Covid restrictions. The safety and wellbeing of everyone involved in the construction works is a number one priority. The Hub is nearing completion with zero Covid cases reported during the whole construction process and we look forward to the public having access to the wonderful facilities that the Hub will provide the local community.”
