Lisa Dodd-Mayne, the director of sport and active communities at the university, said that, "this new hub isn’t just about sport, it’s about physical activity, health and wellbeing".
Third year Physics student James described the venture as a "welcomed change", telling The Tab that "I currently go to the uni sports centre gym four times a week and I think the re-development is needed."
The University is building the new sports hub, with the aim of being crowned the "most physically active higher education campus" in the UK by 2020.
