The Elephant Building is part of a leisure complex in Coventry city centre, England.
[1] It was intended to extend the pre-existing Coventry Central Baths building, to which it is connected with an enclosed walkway (the "elephant's trunk").
The main building of the leisure complex was opened in 1966, providing Coventry with the region's only Olympic-size swimming pool with seating for spectators, making it a focal point for swimming in the West Midlands.
Coventry City Council is yet to announce firm plans for the building's redevelopment, but it may become a community art space.
[8] On May 15, 2021, as part of the launch for Coventry being UK City of Culture 2021, the words of local author George Elliot "It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted" were projected onto the building.
