Sports England go green for Warwickshire College Sports Complex

Five new‘Sports England’ colours have been developed by CEMEX Mortars for the sports centre complex at the new £35 million Warwickshire College. The five bespoke colours: Sports England red, green, yellow, white and natural, have been created to match the colours of the blocks used in different areas of the build.

St Modwen, the main contractors, started work on the site off Mill Road, Brownsover, Rugby, at the beginning of February and subcontracted the brickwork to Fast Track Construction, based in Derby. To date, over 300 tonnes of the specialist CEMEX mortar have been used by Fast Track.

The college is part of a new ‘urban community’ and is sited on 82 acres, which was formerly the Alstom Industrial complex. The sports hall will consist of a four-court sports hall and multi-gym with changing facilities that will also be available to the community.

CEMEX Sports England Green mortar was developed to match the special green blocks used in the main hall. Sports England yellow and white was used on the external walls with a band of Sports England red at the top.
