National Sports Centre on track for major revamp

Morgan Sindall Construction has been appointed to deliver the £130 million refurbishment of the National Sports Centre in south London.

Procured by the Greater London Authority on a design and build contract through the Southern Construction Framework, Morgan Sindall has begun a pre-construction period, which will include detailed applications for planning and listed building consent.

The scheme includes a major rebuild of the swimming and diving pools, and improvements to the indoor facilities, external pitches and athletics stadium.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: “The National Sports Centre is an historic and much-loved sporting and community facility where many UK sporting stars have started their careers and trained.

“It needs a major refurbishment, and I am committed to this once-in-a-generation redevelopment of the site, which will secure its future for decades to come.”

Richard Dobson, Morgan Sindall Construction’s Area Director for London, said: “We’re delighted to have been appointed to this project, as the National Sports Centre is an iconic facility that’s not only close to the hearts of people in the area but is also an important historic national sporting landmark.”
