Men’s Outdoor Facilities
-
Tennis Centre (2,000 seat)
-

These ‘shared’ facilities will be used by students from all academic concentrations and therefore have the unique ability to foster cross disciplinary interaction and to provide students and faculty from different Colleges within the Campus venues to share ideas.
The SAAF is being designed to comply with a LEED Silver rating.
