Project Summary:

Ulster University has welcomed the approval of a funding bid to establish a 15,000m² indoor sports and leisure arena on Derry~Londonderry’s Northland Road, close to campus. A first-of-its-scale facility for Northern Ireland, the Ulster University Dome will transform the old Foyle College site in the city into a shared sporting space equipped with full-size pitches suitable for soccer, Gaelic games and rugby, as well as other sports, community and musical events.

With an external perimeter and recreational trail, the dome will be connected to the Ulster University Derry~Londonderry campus and car parking facilities, becoming a hub for community events in the city with space for thousands of spectators inside. The €10.86m investment through PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), will be match-funded by Ulster University to deliver a significant enhancement to its student and community facilities in the North West.
