The maps illustrate the layout of a university sports centre as it currently exists and how it will change following a redevelopment. Overall, the most noticeable difference is the addition of various new facilities and an overall expansion of the centre.
At present, the university sports centre consists of a relatively simple layout. The entrance leads to a reception area, located centrally. Immediately behind the reception is the gym, and on either side of the reception, there are changing rooms. To the west of the building, there is a 25-meter pool, and further to the west are outdoor courts. Similarly, to the east, another set of outdoor courts occupies the space.
In contrast, the redevelopment plan envisions a more diverse set of facilities. The 25-meter pool remains unchanged in location, as does the gym behind the reception area. However, significant modifications have been proposed around the central section. To the west, the outdoor courts will be replaced with a leisure pool, while to the east, they will be replaced by an indoor sports hall. Additionally, two dance studios will be added to the northeast corner of the building. A sports shop and café will also be introduced near the reception area in the entrance hall. Moreover, both changing rooms will be retained but expanded to accommodate the increase in facilities.
In summary, the future plans will dramatically enhance the university sports centre by adding several indoor recreational spaces and removing the outdoor courts. These changes indicate a shift towards offering more indoor leisure options, making the facility more comprehensive.”
