Wates鈥� M&E arm SES Engineering Services has scored a role alongside main contractor Galliford Try on a 拢45m sports hub for Leeds Beckett University.

The building, which has been designed by Sheppard Robson, will also include a hypoxic laboratory, a health and wellbeing studio, an indoor 60m sprint track for performance training and analysis and a roof walker track and terrace.

There is also an enhanced strength and conditioning space as well as changing and recovery facilities.

The scheme was given planning permission in May 2018, while construction of the facility is due to wrap up in autumn 2019.

The sports centre is just one part of a wider 拢200m programme the university is carrying out to revamp its campuses.

Last January, Liverpool firm George Downing Construction began work to build a new 拢80m arts building for the university.

It is set to complete the building in September 2020 which has been designed by Hawkins Brown.
