University Academy 92 Manchester (UA92) is a new Higher Education provider in Manchester created by Manchester United’s famous class of ’92 players with assistance from Lancaster University and a number of partners.
The institution has been created to specialise in five core areas and provides a fresh outlook on delivering higher education content to its students.
One area of focus is BSc Sports and Exercise Science Degrees and UA92 have included a Human Performance Hub as part of the campus facilities.
“University Academy 92 Manchester (UA92) proudly opened its doors in September 2019 and our Performance Hub remains one of main attractions on campus. As a start-up Higher Education provider, we wanted to build a multi-purpose facility which could seamlessly accommodate teaching, learning and research demands for a range of users, including those with additional needs. Following a rigorous tender process, it became apparent that Perform Better were best placed to bring our plans to life. Despite a very tight install deadline Perform Better were a pleasure to work with. Darren Ross and colleagues have consistently offered a professional, honest and tailored service. Since the installation Perform Better have provided us with a thoughtful and thorough after-care service, which includes training and CPD sessions with Ross, the company’s sports scientist. We now have a fantastic space and an excellent working relationship with Perform Better.”
