Latest plans for sports and medtech hub

It will replace the existing pavilion by the athletics track at Swansea Bay Sports Park, off Sketty Lane, and consist of laboratories and research, innovation and teaching space over four floors.

The Swansea University-led scheme is part of a wider £136m project to attract investment in sports and medical technology at Sketty Lane and a large chunk of land by Morriston Hospital, creating jobs, strengthening the region's life sciences sector and benefitting people's overall health.

University representatives gave an update about the campuses project, as it is known, to councillors this week.

The panel heard a virtual reality company from Bristol was involved in the project, as was an American firm that designed self-scanning baby heart probes.
