The new Sports Centre was completed in 1999 and has a range of facilities covering all aspects of sports and fitness for health. It is built on Nobles field which was bought by the College in 1965. The original sports hall was built in 1968 to replace a gymnasium which had been in the basement below the Founders Library. The field had been prone to flooding until a new drainage system was installed in the 70s.
Interestingly the Sports centre and fields only occupy a part of Nobles field though a significant part of the field lies on the opposite side of the railway tracks which was built in 1850. The next phase of College expansion is likely to include building a new student village on the other side of the tracks.
