Around £40m would be invested in the project, creating sport-specific accommodation to secure Loughborough’s place as a training centre for elite athletes.
It would also see the construction of new bedrooms to satisfy demand from new and returning students for places in halls of residence.

Subject to planning approval, the new accommodation will be built on a site adjacent to the existing High Performance Athletics Centre. The rooms will include up to 70 student athlete rooms and 40 elite athlete rooms.
The rooms will have a similar design to existing accommodation on campus. Some will be specifically designed for elite athlete short-term accommodation, including those with disabilities.
The proposed project start date is August 2017, with completion scheduled for September 2019.
