£100,000 boost for Aberdeen aquatic centre
Transport operator First Group is to provide £100,000 towards the cost of Aberdeen's new aquatic centre.
A 50m swimming pool will be at the centre of the FaulknerBrowns Architects-designed development, which will form the second phase of Aberdeen Sports Village. Aberdeen City Council approved the development in October, which will see the former Linksfield Academy demolished to make way for the new aquatic centre.
Facilities will also include a 25m x 16.5m diving pool with adjustable floor; spectator seating for 600; a full-timing/video analysis lab; and a health suite. First Group chief executive Tim O'Toole said: "The Sports Village is among the finest sporting facilities I have seen.
"Adding a state of the art aquatic centre will surely earn world class status and further establish Aberdeen as a city of sporting prowess."
