Robins High Performance Centre

The brief

The new facilities set Bristol City up for Premier League football by combining training facilities for the first team and academy players. The project consisted of the construction of the new high performance centre, formation of grass pitches, the provision of floodlighting, & the erection of the groundsman’s storage, & car parking facilities.

The ground floor of the centre incorporates a gymnasium, tactics room, hydrotherapy pool, changing rooms, and medical & rehabilitation facilities. The first floor houses the management suite, welfare and education facilities, media room as well as a well equipped kitchen and dining facilities. Bristol City Women will play all of their home fixtures for the championship campaign at this state of the art facility.

The new facility will allow the first team under 23s to train together on the same site for the first time and enhance the pathway from Academy to first team. The project includes a 500-seat floodlit main pitch which will be able to host the Robins’ Under 23 matches, and two other new full-size pitches as well as two more training areas.
