Mount Allison University is set to receive $3 million from the provincial government to support construction of a new multi-sport complex, expected to open in 2030.

The fully accessible facility will feature a 26,000-square-foot playing surface, a walking track, multiple courts, and a multi-purpose space. It is designed to serve the university’s more than 2,000 students as well as nearly 15,000 residents of the Tantramar area.

University president Ian Sutherland says the project represents an investment in the health, well-being, and future of students.

Sutherland says the complex “will create a dynamic, accessible space that supports varsity and recreational athletics, strengthens community connections, and serves the region for generations to come.”
