How we help

270 Climbing Park's brief was one of the most structurally demanding leisure builds MSB has taken on: a main arena with 17-18m high walls, over 70 lines, outdoor lead and speed walls, IFSC-standard bouldering walls and a dramatic auto-belay balcony wall - built in phases inside a campus that already housed live ropes and aerial courses. MSB coordinated structural, M&E, stormwater attenuation and architectural finishes throughout to deliver a seamless guest experience without shutting the site down.

Frequently asked questions

What size of sports or leisure building can MSB construct?

MSB delivered a 100,000 sq ft climbing arena for 270 Climbing Park in Gloucester, including 17-18m high walls - a genuinely large-span, high-clearance structure.

Can MSB build in a live, already-operating leisure site?

Yes - 270 Climbing Park was delivered in a phased programme within a campus that already housed live ropes and aerial courses, without disrupting the existing offer.

Does MSB handle stormwater attenuation for large-footprint leisure buildings?

Yes, stormwater attenuation was coordinated as part of the structural, M&E and architectural delivery on the 270 Climbing Park project.

Can MSB achieve very tall clear-span structures like climbing walls?

Yes - the 270 Climbing Park arena includes 17-18m high climbing walls as part of its main structure.
