Metropolitan Police Training Centre

This GBP40million project involved the complete remodelling and refurbishment of the Metropolitan Police's existing training school into two separate disciplines: public order training and specialist firearms training. Construction was completed in January 2003.

Within the public order training arena are a number of realistic facades including a mocked up stadium, an underground station and tube carriage and a complex of houses and flats. The firearms facility incorporates a variety of firing ranges, as well as specialist facilities such as a train carriage and an aeroplane fuselage.

In addition to the training areas, the centre now contains accommodation for 305 students, plus classrooms, a reception area and canteen, leisure and fitness amenities. Facilities management services, which include cleaning, catering, security and reception, are being provided by John Laing Integrated Services.
