New Garden at Hawkshead
Thanks to the generosity of an RVC Animal Care Trust supporter, work is being carried out to create a new garden at the Hawkshead Campus.
The garden will be a peaceful place for our clients to visit when they are visiting our hospitals, giving them somewhere to go either when they are waiting for their pets or when they have dif cult decisions to make. It will be wheelchair accessible and have a paved pathway with benches and a gazebo.
Ultimately the space will also be a memorial and celebration garden where clients can have a personalised plaque for their pets with funds raised going to the hospitals.
The garden is coming along very nicely and is due for completion very soon.
New sports facilities
Sports are an integral part of life at the RVC and good facilities are essential for the wide range of extra-curricular activities and our amazing sports teams. Some long awaited news was received in July this year - the College was granted planning permission for a new sports facility at the Hawkshead campus.
Building works are due to commence in the Autumn 2016 with the facility due to open after Easter 2017. The sports centre will provide  rst class facilities to include a four badminton courts, a 5 a side football pitch and basket ball courts. In addition to this there will be a dance studio and gymnasium together with associated changing facilities.
Multi Use Games Area opens
The Hawkshead campus’s new multi use games area (MUGA) opened in Spring 2015 (pictured right).
It has been built next to the existing tennis courts and gives clubs and societies, staff and the local community an all weather surface with  oodlights which can be used all year round.
