The £28m Aberdeen Sports Village has officially opened.

The complex, which was a joint venture between Aberdeen City Council, the University of Aberdeen and sportscotland, was designed by architects, Reiach and Hall.

Created to meet the diverse needs of the people of Aberdeen and the wider community, one of the highlights of the complex is an indoor, 3G football pitch.

Other facilities include an indoor sports hall featuring sprung timber flooring as well as a 135m, six-lane running straight.

Adhering to the Council's 'fit for future' initiative - that aims to provide a comprehensive, high quality range of sporting facilities - Reiach and Hall specified Armitage Venesta (AV), whose products, they have found, can be relied upon.

Demonstrating its flexibility, Armitage Venesta's cubicle range, Stadia, which is totally impervious to water, was used in all changing, shower and washroom areas.

Choosing from an extensive colour palette, the architects co-ordinated the cubicle ranges on each level with the three colours within the facilities.

AV's pre-plumbed system, IPS Evolve, with its factory fitted sanitaryware, was also colour co-ordinated and used throughout to provide easy clean surfaces that promote hygiene and provide easy access for ongoing maintenance.
