University of Brighton completes cricket revamp

University of Brighton has completed a major refurbishment of its indoor Cricket training grounds. The Square One Cricket Academy at the University of Brighton enables students to combine their degree studies with world-class cricket training, with 60 fully funded places available each year for both women and men.

The newly completed Brighton Cricket Academy now stands as the largest indoor cricket facility in the UK and Northern Hemisphere.

As part of the upgrade project, the university appointed flooring expert and SAPCA member, Gerflor, to deliver sports floor covering solutions.

Approximately 735sq m of Taraflex Performance SL – in a clay colour – was specified to meet England and Wales Cricket Board performance guidelines. This was further complemented and enhanced with 1,502sq m of Taraflex Evolution surface in a mint colour.
