Westwood Tennis Centre

The University of Warwick, in conjunction with the LTA, decided to expand the current tennis facility on their Westwood Campus by building a new Indoor 4 Court Tennis Centre on 3 of their existing 7 external courts & to further enhance the existing facility by providing floodlighting to the remaining 4 external courts.

The Indoor Tennis Centre has a tennis hall that accommodates 4 side by side internal courts with dual level lighting (club & competition) together with an ancillary block housing Reception Area, Offices, Changing Rooms, Plant Rooms, Viewing Gallery with Disabled Platform Lift access & Comms Room. Tennis Court lighting, both internally & externally, will be controlled from the Reception desk.

In line with the LTA’s declared policy of ‘Tennis for All’ the enhanced facility will be open for use by the general public as well as campus students.

We were appointed as Electrical Services Contractor for the project, contract value £300k, by Interclass Plc to carry out the installation to the University of Warwick Estates Dept design. The works included the following elements:

  • Incoming Electrical Supplies from campus feeder pillar
  • Mains & Sub-Main Distribution
