Construction consultant Thomas & Adamson and Kennedy Fitzgerald Architects have been awarded the work by Clackmannanshire Council’s development partner for the project, Hub East Central Scotland.
They will support the creation of detailed options for the design and location of the proposed new facility.

Hub East Central Scotland chief executive Gary Bushnell said: “We are delighted that the project is moving forward and will continue to work closely with the council and local communities to deliver the best options for this essential new facility.”
Councillor Scott Harrison, Clackmannanshire Council spokesperson for sport, leisure and active living, said: “The appointment of these key advisors takes the implementation of a new Wellbeing Hub for Clackmannanshire one step closer and I look forward to seeing the detailed options for the design and location of the leisure and wellbeing centre.”
