Discussions regarding potential future developments at the Sports Centre are underway, and these may include the addition of indoor and outdoor tennis courts, along with the potential inclusion of a swimming pool.
On April 2, 2019, the University revealed its plans to expand its West Cambridge site, including the addition of a swimming pool and indoor tennis courts. These upcoming sports facilities will be located near the newly developed Eddington community, situated on the North West Cambridge site near Huntingdon Road.
The plans are currently in their initial stages of development. The next phase of the project will involve creating architectural sketches to visualize the potential appearance of the building. Following this, there will be a period of public consultation.
