The University of Dundee has completed a £450,000 redesign and refurbishment to its Institute of Sport and Exercise.

The six week redevelopment has included the addition of a training suite, re-flooring, re-wiring, extending network capabilities, redecoration and new equipment.

The 150 capacity, 450sq m (4,800sq ft) gym, uses 88 Precor-branded fitness machines, 75 of which are cardiovascular.

“Precor’s Preva networked fitness will add considerably to our programme activity and in particular our ‘specialist’ population programmes in coronary rehab, diabetes and cancer,” said Brian Ewing, director for the Institute of Sport

Also included is a 50sq m (540sq ft) training suite, to provide an additional area for personal training and more specialised functional equipment.

Facilities at the University already includes two six-court indoor sports halls, two studios, a specialised combat studio, a regional strength performance centre, three squash courts, swimming pool, sauna, treatment rooms and a BASES accredited Human Performance Centre.

Outdoor facilities include a 33-acre sports ground with changing facilities, training area, four all-weather tennis courts and a water activities centre.
