New energy efficient sports facility serves both the univeristy and wider community

Faulkner Browns have completed the Ravelin Sports Centre, a new £57m facility for the University of Portsmouth.

Designed in close collaboration with Max Fordham, the project seeks to act as an exemplar for ultra-low energy sports facilities in the UK.

The multipurpose centre serves both the University of Portsmouth and the wider community, and includes a 25-metre eight-lane swimming pool, an eight-court sports hall, a fitness suite accommodating 175 stations, multifunctional studios, squash courts, and climbing and bouldering facilities.
