A new purpose-built facility designed to support the welfare of Army recruits has opened in Pirbright, Surrey.
The British Army said the £11m Soldiers’ Centre has been built to promote wellbeing and community for new recruits as they complete the 13-week Army Basic Training course.
Spread over two storeys, the space consists of retail and food outlets, a cinema and social areas.
Maj Gen Richard Clements CBE, director of basing and infrastructure, said the project demonstrated the Army’s “extensive investment in modernising our estate, supporting future capability, and enhancing the environments where our soldiers live, work and train”.
