The New Home of Sporting Excellence for GIS

The new facility, which is currently under construction at the former Chris Anderson Stadium, will act as home to the GIS and many of its support services enabling GIS athletes to train in a truly high performance environment. This exciting development is being funded by two of the GIS local partners, the University of Aberdeen and Aberdeen City Council, as well as sportscotland. You can find out more about our new home by visiting the Aberdeen Sports Village website on www.aberdeensportsvillage.com.
