The Dome Leisure Centre Lakeside Doncaster South Yorkshire England UK
Informally known as The Dome or Doncaster Dome. It has a swimming complex, bars, a sports arena that is also used as an event venue and the United Kingdom's first ever split level ice skating rink. The Dome as a concept was first conceived in 1985, by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council. The aim of the project was to inject capital and confidence into the community of Doncaster. The Dome was to act as a catalyst for the economic and qualative regeneration of Doncaster — at a time when the economic climate of Doncaster was depressed, the Dome was to herald a new age. The building was designed by architect Faulkner Brown, and work was underway by November 1986, taking a little under three years for completion with the building officially being declared 'finished' in August 1989. The building was officially opened by HRH Diana, Princess of Wales on November 26, 1989. In total, the project cost £26million.
