Morgan Sindall has been selected to deliver a new £37.5 million education and leisure centre complex in Cambridgeshire.

The project is being carried out for Cambridgeshire County Council in Littleport.

The new sports centre will comprise of a sports hall, a fitness suite, a multi-use hall, changing facilities and a social bar area.


The project is already underway and an existing leisure centre has been demolished on Camel Road.

Morgan Sindall will also deliver external landscaping works including improvements to existing playing fields with new hard/soft play areas.

The site will also see the addition of a second and third project phase which will include the construction of the new, one form entry primary school by 2020.

An extension will also be added to Littleport Academy.

Bob Ensch, area director at Morgan Sindall, said: "Designing and constructing quality buildings which provide a positive learning environment and enhance children and young people's educational experience requires detailed and thoughtful planning. We're looking forward to utilising our vast experience of working on world-class schools to deliver this great facility."
