The new Sport and Wellness Hub, which is being constructed by Wilmott Dixon, is part of a £49 million investment in the new centre and associated sports and physical activity facilities at the university.

It will open in April and give the university one of the top sports centres in the UK, with all facilities available for community use.

“There is significant progress every week now, as the building is transformed into a state-of-the-art sports and fitness provision for Coventry and Warwickshire.
