A wee bit long in the tooth
Article Abstract:
Mowlem Scotland is working very hard to ensure that the 16 million pounds sterling Waterfront leisure centre in Greenock, Scotland, is completed by summer 1997. The building was originally scheduled for completion in Sep 1996, but its innovative design, especially the complex cladding, has been causing unforeseen difficulties. Facilities at the site will include a 25 mt, six-lane swimming pool, a lagoon pool, a curling rink and an ice skating rink.
