Centre for Sport and Recreation Membership
Over the past few years, the Centre has undertaken a number improvements to the sport and leisure facilities in the University. These have included the enlarged ladies changing room, lighting and plant work at the swimming pool, improved showers in the gents changing room and more recently resurfacing of the Sports Hall floor and refurbishment of the Squash Courts. The largest single development however, has been the opening of a well-equipped and appointed Conditioning Suite in February 2002. All of the Cardiovascular equipment in the Conditioning Suite was replaced in July 2006.
Membership of the facilities of the Centre for Sport and Recreation are available to all students and members of staff upon payment of the appropriate membership fee.
Memberships are also offered to Graduates and Associate Users, Retired Staff and Spouses of Members of Staff (who themselves are not employed in the university).
