The University of Cambridge Sports Centre opened in West Cambridge in August 2013.[1] The Physical Education Department moved its offices from Fenner's in Gresham Road to the new Centre.[2] It was considered by many to be a long-overdue addition to the University.[3]
The Fitness, Strength and Conditioning Suite is made up of a Fitness Suite, containing cardiovascular machines such as treadmills, ski ergs, Jacobs Ladders, and a Strength and Conditioning Room, with eight Olympic lifting platforms and a two-lane plyometric track.
Conversations regarding potential future developments at the Sports Centre are underway, and these discussions may involve considerations such as the addition of indoor and outdoor tennis courts, along with the potential inclusion of a swimming pool.[4]
On April 2, 2019, the University revealed its plans to expand its West Cambridge site, encompassing the addition of a swimming pool and indoor tennis courts. These upcoming sports facilities will be located in close proximity to the newly developed Eddington community, situated on the North West Cambridge site near Huntingdon Road.
The plans are currently in their initial stages of development. The subsequent phase of the project will involve creating architectural sketches to visualize the potential appearance of the building. After this, there will be a period of public consultation.[5]
