MURRAY BUILDING, Highfield Campus, University of Southampton
The University of Southampton has around 16,000 undergraduates and over 7,600 post graduate students, based around five campuses in the South of England.
In September 2024, the university unveiled their new Jubilee Sport and Recreation Centre extension, a £24.7m project that coordinated sustainable development targets with cost and pragmatic infrastructure provision.
The extension included a state-of-the-art Technogym 200+ station Fitness Suite, a Les Mills International & Technogym oriented fitness and active studios, 3 brand new squash courts, a climbing and bouldering wall, and enhancements and upgrades to the existing facilities used by the University staff and students, members of the public and community groups.
The extension has been awarded a BREEAM rating of excellent, along with an increased quantity of PV panels to meet the University of Southampton’s net zero carbon target.
