University of Ulster plans £7.6m sports centre
The University of Ulster is planning to build a £7.6m sports centre on its Coleraine campus.
Architects GM design have been commissioned to design the project, which is to be built near to existing student residences.
Professor Robert Hutchinson, provost of the campus, said: “The exciting project represents the largest single investment ever on the Coleraine campus for student support.
“As well as enhancing our campus sports facilities, the new centre will facilitate widening participation, and underpins the university’s plan of consolidating activities at Coleraine.”
The centre will offer indoor training facilities for football, Gaelic games and rugby as well as a fitness suite and a strength and conditioning suite. There will also be facilities for basketball, martial arts and dance.
Work is expected to begin next year and be completed by 2011.
