University of Kent, Sports Centre Development

Saunders Boston were appointed by the University of Kent following a competitive tender and interview process to design the redevelopment of the existing centre extending fitness facilities and creating a new sports hall.

The scheme includes a new four badminton court sports hall to Sport England standards.  The existing fitness suite has been completely modernised and extended to form part of an 800 sq m fitness and high performance free weights suite.

The new fitness suite extension will provide a new face to the existing facility creating a ‘shop window’ along an exisitng University thoroughfare.  The new facility will also include a ‘physio therapy hub’ which will provide a practical relationship between academic courses and real life.

The new first floor 280 sq m multi-purpose studio can be sub-divided and is suitable for various activities including; spinning, aerobics, yoga, martial arts and conferences.
