New facilities for 2012

Between April and September we are enhancing our facilities to ensure you get the best possible experience from sportBU, whether you are a student, staff member or community user.

Investment is being made into the following facilities:

• New fully equipped, state-of-the-art Fitness Training Zone
• New multi-functional large aerobics and dance studio
• Refurbished sports hall
• New fully equipped Therapy Treatment Rooms

As a result of the construction works needed to make these improvements, our sports hall and gym will be closed from April to September 2012, but we will still be offering a full programme of fitness classes from our studios and Strength & Conditioning suite.

To keep all our customers up to date with the improvements and how the new facilities will look, we will be continually updating this page and sending out feeds through our Facebook and Twitter pages so make sure you are following us!

Loss of climbing wall

Because we are increasing the size of our fully functional fitness suite to cope with the expansion in the number of fitness classes we can offer, we will no longer be able to host the Hot Rocks climbing wall as of April 2012.

We'll be very sad to lose such a fantastic facility, and we are hoping to be able to build a new state-of-the-art climbing facility at BU in the summer of 2013. In the meantime, we are looking to enable those who used the wall to use alternative local facilities. Ask a member of sportBU for more details.

Ask a member of the sportBU team for more details about these new arrangements.

Programme Changes for September onwards

Over the summer we are taking the opportunity to refresh and extend all our programmes. With extended opening hours all year round we will be looking to offer a wider range of fitness classes during the day and evening to cater for a larger community audience. Memberships will also be restructured to offer a more inclusive offering for both BU and Community users.

Updates

During the works we will continually update this section with new photos and information on how our enhanced facilities will look. For images please check out our Flickr account, and to keep up date with all of sportBU's news have a look at our Facebook and Twitter pages.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the improvements please feel free to drop in and speak to me or any member of the sportBU team.
