Tendering is underway on the Ravelin Park project with stage two tenders due to be submitted in September.
Plans for the new sports facility come as part of the University’s estate masterplan that will see £400m invested in the campus over the next decade.
The indoor sports facility will be the first project to be developed and features an eight-lane 25m swimming pool, eight-court sports hall, 175 station fitness suite, two flexible squash courts and a ski simulator.
Designed by FaulknerBrowns Architects, the building will set new standards for sustainability for a sports building and as is on target to be the first of this type in the UK to be BREEAM rated ‘Outstanding’.
Max Fordham is the M&E consultant and Mott MacDonald structural consultant on the sports complex.
