Proposals will see the sports village built on the University’s existing facilities at Peffermill Playing Fields. The plans include a sports centre which has been designed to complement the area’s landscape. The centre will increase sports facilities available to students, and to the wider community, who make up 50 per cent of the bookings at Peffermill.
The proposed village would include a 12-court multi-purpose sports hall, four-court indoor tennis hall, strength and conditioning gym, fitness gym, and social and conference spaces. Basketball, futsal, korfball, netball and volleyball will also be added to the sports available at Peffermill, along with improved facilities for hockey and archery.
Plans for the Peffermill Sports Village include a 573-bed residence on existing University land, which would offer accommodation for students during term time, and for athletes and event attendees during summer months.
The proposals also feature a 2.5km open access exercise route that will border the facility.
The projects are subject to planning permission and final approval by the University Court.
