Sports Capital Infrastructure Plan
MU Sport is reviewing and updating the Sport Capital Infrastructure Plan to align with the University Capital Plan (Estates Plan) and the Strategic Plan for Sport. The objective is to improve the quality, capacity and accessibility of sporting facilities that support regular physical activity for students and staff across all campuses of the University.
In March, sporting clubs were invited to attend a series of workshops where attendees were asked to consider the broader position of sport within the University. As the plan is developed during 2022, the MU Sport community will have further opportunities to review and provide feedback.
