Ulster University is to invest £10 million to transform part of its Jordanstown campus into a new “sports village” to further sporting excellence in Northern Ireland.
The move follows the relocation of much of the university’s teaching and research facilities to Belfast city centre campus which has allowed the sports faculty room to grow at its out-of-town base.
It said the development, which is subject to planning approval, will include the development of a “multi-sport facility for students, staff and the local community”. The indoor facility will include the creation of a two-storey extension of the existing High-Performance Sports Centre to include a gym, fitness suite, physio room, teaching and event space and a range of other facilities.
