Plans involve two full size sports halls, an all weather floodlit pitch, as well as a facilities building connected to the sports halls.
The site will be a training base for USA athletes for the 2012 London Olympics.

Included will be green roofs and photovoltaic cells for solar energy, while a biomass boiler will be used for heating.
Post games the new centres will be used by University staff and students as well as the local community.
