Outstanding new facilities opened at New College Durham
New College Durham has officially opened its new multi use games area, a £4.5 million investment designed to transform sporting and community opportunities for students and residents across County Durham.
The official opening ceremony welcomed a host of distinguished guests, including the Mayor of Durham, Councillor Gary Hutchinson, former Sunderland AFC legend Kevin Phillips, civic leaders, and partners from construction, education, and sport.
The state-of-the-art facility features:
- An all-weather pitch built to FA and Sport England standards
- Redevelopment of 4.55 hectares, including new car parks, landscaping, and an attenuation pond to enhance drainage and biodiversity
- 20 new electric vehicle charging points, supporting sustainable travel
Local clubs confirmed to use the new MUGA include Durham Women FC, Belmont United, Durham FC, Durham Athletic, Durham United, and Shincliffe Juniors.
It will also be central to the college’s Football Development Centre, run in partnership with the Newcastle United Foundation and Spennymoor Town FC.
This latest development is part of the college’s extensive capital strategy, which has already seen over £34 million invested in facilities and advanced equipment over the last five years.
