Nottingham University – Temporary Sports Hall
In 2016, the University of Nottingham embarked on a £40 million project to construct a state-of-the-art sports centre, necessitating the demolition of its existing facilities. To ensure uninterrupted access to sports amenities during the two-year development period, the university sought a temporary solution. Spaciotempo, a leader in temporary building solutions, was commissioned to design and deliver an interim sports complex tailored to the university's needs.
Project Requirements and Challenges
The primary challenge was to provide a comprehensive sports facility that could accommodate the diverse athletic activities of the university's student body. The solution needed to be operational within a stringent five-month timeframe, encompassing planning, groundwork, and construction phases. Additionally, the temporary complex had to meet high standards of safety, functionality, and comfort, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
Spaciotempo's approach involved the creation of a bespoke, 3,000-square-metre sports complex. Key features included:
The solution
The construction process was meticulously managed to adhere to the tight schedule. Spaciotempo undertook extensive groundwork, including the installation of drainage systems, and provided all necessary structural components such as framework, flooring, electrical systems, heating, and fixtures. This all-encompassing service ensured that the university received a fully functional facility without the need to coordinate multiple contractors.

Outcome and Impact
The temporary sports complex was completed on time and within budget, opening its doors to students in early 2016. The facility successfully served the university community throughout the construction of the new sports centre, ensuring that athletic programs and student activities continued without disruption. The project exemplified how temporary structures could effectively bridge gaps during major developments, providing high-quality, interim solutions that meet institutional needs.
“The temporary sports complex represents the first stage in what is a huge project for us. Spaciotempo came up with a plan that followed our brief and they’ve showed a positive, flexible attitude throughout. They provided an all-encompassing service which was a massive bonus for us. It meant we were able to delegate the entire project, and have now simply taken delivery of the keys.”
Dan Tilley - Director of Sports Nottingham University
“We managed the entire project which involved a lot of ground work and the installation of several sports buildings. We put in all the drainage and provided the framework, flooring and electrical equipment including the heating and fixtures and fittings. It was a big task, but it was completed right on schedule.”
