£22m Aberdeen Sports Village on track for 2014 launch

By Tom Walker    25 Feb 2013

Construction work on the £22m Aquatics Centre at the Aberdeen Sports Village has reached another landmark and the facility is on track to open in early 2014 - in time for the Commonwealth Games.

Graham Construction, which is building the facility, has taken delivery of the centre's Olympic standard diving boards. The installation of the three, five, 7.5 and 10-metre boards is the last major structure to go in before the centre is made wind and water tight.

Designed by FaulknerBrowns Architects, the Aberdeen Aquatics Centre will comprise a ten-lane, 50m swimming pool with a dividing boom and a part-floating floor.

A 25m x 16.5m diving pool, fitted with water cushioning systems and an adjustable floor, will also feature, along with a timing and video analysis lab, a health suite and spectator seating.

Davis Langdon is project managing the scheme, which is designed to build on the success of the £28m regional sports centre opened at the site in 2009. Aberdeen Sports Village welcomed its 2 millionth visitor at the end of 2012.
