The £18.2 million development is the next stage of the Aberdeen Sports Village.
Located on the site of the former Linksfield Academy, the Centre will provide long lane training opportunities for elite swimmers who currently have no facilities north of Stirling and provide a community facility that will encourage participation in water-based activities at all ages and abilities.
Facilities include:
- 50m, 10 lane training and competition pool
- Dividing boom allowing the pool to be split into two separate areas
- 25m x 16.5m diving Pool with springboards and diving platforms utilising the latest technology in cushioning systems
- Floating Floor technology in whole of diving pool and a quarter of 50m pool
- Competitor seating and spectator seating for 600
- Complete timing, video analysis lab
- Land conditioning area
- Health suite
- Bridge connection to Aberdeen Sports Village
The University has committed to contribute a total of £8m to the development, with £2m still required to help fund a wide variety of areas within the Aquatics Centre.
Every gift brings us closer to completion and there are a number of areas which you can support specifically, including a range of naming opportunities; alternatively you can make a gift to the Aquatics Centre fund to be used where the need is greatest.
