24 jaw-dropping pics as £11m facility the Vault opens in Preston with built in gym and climbing wall

A youth zone that will be a safe and aspirational place for young people has opened in Preston.

The £11m facility known as the Vault is located opposite Preston Bus Station in the Harris Quarter.

The construction team installed some 238 tonnes of steel and recycled more than 100 tonnes of waste from the site, representing about two-thirds of all waste generated.

It will provide a space that is inspirational and recognisable while also accommodating the requirements for first-class facilities in sports, arts, performance and enterprise.

A spokesperson for the business said: “Preston’s Youth Zone will enhance the local area by providing a destination for the young people of Preston.

“It will be a state-of-the-art space with over 20 activities to try each session, staffed by skilled youth workers who believe in young people and help them see what they could achieve.”

Take a look around the new site which boasts a gym and a climbing wall.
