Drivers Jonas Sport to project manage £20m Regional Sports Centre in Aberdeen
Drivers Jonas' specialist sports team, DJ Sport, has been appointed as Project Manager for a new £23m Regional Sports Centre in Aberdeen. The Regional Sports Centre is one of six regional centres planned for Scotland and is being funded by the University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen City Council and sportscotland.
The centre has been designed by the Scottish Architect, Reiach & Hall, and will be built next to the existing Chris Anderson 400m outdoor athletics track to create a hub of sporting excellence. The centre will include an indoor synthetic football pitch, an indoor athletics centre with an indoor sprint track, high jump, long jump and throw areas, a 9-court sports hall, fitness centre, dance studio and other sports facilities.
David Beattie, Director of Sports Development at the University of Aberdeen, said: "we are delighted to appoint DJ Sport as Project Manager. We went through a rigorous tender process to select the Project Manager and were very impressed by DJ Sport's track record of delivering high value sports facilities. "
Stephen Jepson, an Associate at Drivers Jonas who is leading the DJ Sport team, commented: "This is a very exciting project and one that DJ Sport are delighted to be involved in. The finished centre will provide facilities of the highest quality and will be something that Aberdeen can be very proud of."
The design of the centre is well underway and is due for completion in late 2008.
