Autumn 2016 welcomed the new ‘Vision for Sport’: the state-of-the-art, purpose-built, £40 million David Ross Sports Village on University Park Campus, a sporting facility of world-wide significance, which also stages major conferences and events.
Amongst a vast range of exceptional facilities, the Village is home to an ultra-versatile, impressive sports hall the size of 20 badminton courts (88.95m x 44.10m / 3845sq m) which transforms into a flexible conference, exhibition and event arena capable of hosting 3000 delegates. Events held here previously, have included Medical Symposia, Faith Conferences and Award Ceremonies.
The Village’s indoor sporting facilities also feature a climbing wall (ideal for team building activities), a martial arts dojo, a multi-use salle, studio space and a 25m official short course swimming pool. Outside, facilities include a 3G rubber crumb pitch, sand dressed pitch, netball and tennis courts.
With its close proximity to halls of residence accommodation and the Orchard Hotel & Restaurant, the David Ross Sports Village provides a unique venue for sports and event organisers.
