Toshiba scores at Boston United

UK: Boston United FC’s new Jakemans Community Stadium West Stand has been equipped with a Toshiba SHRM-e VRF solution, installed by Nottingham-based Formost Air Conditioning.

Facilities at the new stadium include a banqueting room, lounge, boardroom, community hub and four hospitality suites, all air conditioned using Toshiba’s SHRM-e systems linked to the company’s VN heat recovery fresh air ventilation units.

Although Boston United is currently competing in the National League North, the sixth tier of the English football league system, the new stadium is being built to Football League standards with increased capacity of over 5000. It will provide a range of community, sports, education and training programs, plus in due course a sports hall and an all-weather 3G pitch for community use.

“We positioned the outdoor condensing units installed at either end of the new stadium, with plenty of space for connections and access,” said Simon Murphy, who headed the installation for Formost Air Conditioning. 

The new Jakemans Community Stadium is part of the area’s wider Quadrant development, which includes housing, a hotel, petrol station, a care home and retail units.
