Canolfan Brailsford opens
This Saturday (5 July) at 8.30, the public will get their first view of the newly extended at Âé¶¹AV.
Renamed Canolfan Brailsford, the Sport Centre will reopen, having been closed for the last two weeks for the final touches of a year-long remodelling and refurbishment project, and an investment of £2.5 million.
The refurbished University Sports facilities include a brand new two-storey gym, a new aerobics studio, the complete replacement and upgrade of the public changing rooms and showers, and a new floor in the main sports hall.
This is part of a wider investment in sports facilities at Âé¶¹AV which includes the new £.5 million indoor tennis and netball facility at Âé¶¹AV's Sport Centre, opened by Lord Coe in November, and a third-generation artificial pitch at Bangor City FC’s ground at Nantporth, which will be home to both University student teams and a host of community clubs from September.
Bangor’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor John G Hughes, said: “Bangor has recently invested millions of pounds in developing new academic and social facilities for students, making it an even more attractive place to study.â€
