“WE’RE LOOKING TO EXPAND THE FLOORING INTO OTHER AREAS OF THE FITNESS SUITE”
n 1992 Huddersfield Polytechnic changed its name to The University of Huddersfield. The writing was on the wall that this centre of learning would indeed surpass all academic ex- pectations on both delivery and student environment. In January 2014, the university opened
Student Central, a £22.5m development which brought together support services, access to the library, computing facilities, sport and leisure, together with a range of eating and social spaces under one roof. Huddersfield was recently named the Times Higher Education University of the Year. This follows on from a highly successful 2013 in which the university was awarded two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise and in 2012 the prestigious Entrepreneurial University of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards. Today, student numbers have reached
over 24,000 with over 130 countries rep- resented on campus. And like most red brick universities the sports and leisure facilities feature very heavily in student life. These sports areas take a hammering and need to be both resilient and functional. The Gerflor brief had to offer a suitable solution for an ‘under rig’ flooring area which was positioned directly underneath the sports centres ‘Technogym Omnia’ system. Chosen for its comfort and safety performance properties Taraflex™ Sport M Evolution (7mm) in Anthracite, Gold and Beige would be the specified product.
Sports areas are now resilient and functional
