Work on new Brighton College sports and science facility to start in July

McLaren Construction has been awarded the design and construction of the new steel-framed sports and science facility for Brighton College

Designed by award-winning Dutch architect OMA, the project will comprise the demolition of existing buildings within the site boundary and the construction of a new sports and science building over four floors.

The new building will include a swimming pool in the basement along with underground parking for the college fleet of minibuses. The ground floor has a cafe, sports viewing area, gymnasium and sports hall as well as an indoor sprint running track.

Upper floors will hold laboratories for all core sciences, such as chemistry, physics and biology, and the rooftop amenity space will feature a running track.
