Melvin Sports Complex

Strabane, County Tyrone.

Since 1972 Melvin Sports Complex has been an epicentre of the Strabane community. The significant investment in this building by Derry City and Strabane District Council, underlines the positive impacts that sport, leisure activities and quality facilities can have on the physical, social and mental wellbeing of any community.

McGurk Architects’ competition winning design re-planned the existing building, revitalising underused space and added a naturally illuminated polycarbonate four court badminton arena. This is capable of hosting international standard competitions in various sports, such as basketball, netball and volleyball in a contemporary spacious environment.
