It is expected to open for around the Spring bank holiday at the end of May, will incorporate both the Liquid and Rewind rooms, and aims to cater to people from all ages.
Managers say it is going to be "bigger and better" than ever before.
Owner Kevin Spencer said: "It has been a six month process with it all and we officially got the licence for the building at the start of the year.

"When you first walk into the main room you will be greeted by a tiki bar with cocktails then you can see the whole club.
"There is going to be commercial music with a lot of Kiss DJs playing, and we plan to have events on the weekends with different DJs coming to play.
"It isn't just themed at a certain age group, we want to appeal to people aged from 18 to 40+ and it won't be like anything like Rewind.

"In terms of the other clubs I think a town benefits from having two or three proper night clubs and doesn't benefit with only one, and they certainly benefit from having different clubs.
"This will be the ultimate nightclub experience for everyone in town."
Construction is underway at the Clumber Street site, with plans to open for the end of May with a grand opening night.
