A
range of new floodlit outdoor sports facilities have recently been completed by
York St John University. Representing
a second phase of major investment in the former Nestle Rowntree playing fields
on Haxby Road planned
construction work will now focus on delivering a new £3.5m sports pavilion and
sports hall in the Summer.
Watson
Batty were originally appointed to masterplan the 80 acre site to provide the
University with a high quality sports
campus. This led to subsequent commissions for the practice, and our
experienced sports sector team,including
the design of a new full size 3G artificial pitch, full size sand dressed
pitch, 5no outdoor
tennis courts (including 2no netball courts) and a new car/coach park. The next
phase provides all the necessary changing
and teaching facilities to support Phase 2 and grass pitches alongside an
indoor five court
sized sports hall.
The new 3G pitch was recently certified by the FA/RFL
and RFU and will enable extended community use by
York City Knights Rugby League Club and York City Football Club.
