Founders Complex
The Founders Hall, 25m swimming pool and squash court-complex dates back to the late 1970s but has stood the test of time. Since then, the eight-badminton court-sized hall itself has been upgraded to a sprung-wood floor. This adaptable space (with viewing gallery) can be used for a number of sports. It regularly plays host to student basketball adn other sports and has hosted top netball competitions. The hall can be divided into sections using full-length curtains.
Behind the hall there are four squash courts and the 25m pool is in an adjacent building. This pool with its dedicated changing areas provides the perfect environment for children to learn to swim and for elite athletes when they need to train for short-course swimming events.
The Founders Complex is at the heart of the campus which has its own cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.
