Sports Injury & Rehabilitation Centre

The new Sports Injury and Rehabilitation Centre is a regional Centre of Excellence for Sports which includes specialist teaching facilities, a referral clinic to provide students with clinical experience, and a 25 metre swimming pool. The building is formed of two wings to create an ‘L’ shape, enveloping the swimming pool to the rear.

The teaching areas include therapy suites, a biomechanics analysis laboratory, and changing facilities for the pool and adjacent sports pitches. The clinic includes changing areas, consultation, rehabilitation, physio and specialist therapy rooms (including hydro- and water-therapy), hyperbaric and thermal chambers, and cryotherapy treatment areas.

The pool has a moveable floor and is used for teaching purposes for the 500 full-time sports students and for recreational purposes by the wider student body and staff. This facility is available for hire by schools, clubs and organisations when not being used by specialists and the College.
