Enabler 4: Infrastructure 26 RAISING OUR GAME A Strategy for Sport at Trinity 2015 - 2018 OBJECTIVE THAT THE FINANCIAL, TECHNOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE ENSURE THE PROVISION OF QUALITY FACILITIES AND SUPPORT PERFORMANCE AND PARTICIPATION PROGRAMMES. Sport in Trinity has an excellent track record of business and financial management to ensure that operations and activities are delivered within agreed parameters. This is the cornerstone upon which much needed facility developments are anchored. Pragmatically, the Strategy does not rely solely on investment from central University funds but adopts a ‘can do’ approach to the challenge of financing future facility and infrastructure developments. This will ensure that Trinity can reinstate a claim for top-class sports facilities and programmes, amongst competitor institutions. This objective is also about aligning with the new Digital Transformation Strategy for the University. Sports communication mediums must be ‘digitally engaging’ with all stakeholders. ACTIONS E4.1 Complete the upgrade of Outdoor Sports Facilities as already approved by the University via Phase 1; E4.2 Design and launch a strategic ‘campaign’ to fund Phase 2 of the Outdoor Sports Facilities project that will involve alumni, corporate sponsors and fundraising events; E4.3 Carry out a needs assessment of indoor facilities aligned to the anticipated increase in student population and diversity, and identify a Capital Project Plan via which requisite and safe space can be provided for sport and fitness; E4.4 Ensure that the facility needs of the clubs displaced by the developments on campus, are met without impacting negatively on participation and future development; E4.5 Initiate plans to upgrade the Islandbridge Boathouse to provide fit-for-purpose training, storage and social space for student clubs and events; E4.6 Extend the portfolio of sports facilities through the acquisition and development of new sites such as the proposed purchase of the Iveagh Sports Grounds and as the campus expands further into new or existing sites; E4.7 Use state-of-the-art and fit-for-purpose technology systems to underpin operational and strategic reporting requirements. Success will be achieved when support for Capital investment is secured from the University, within the overall Estates Plan, and Trinity boasts a portfolio of excellent indoor and outdoor sports facilities, supported by latest technology interventions. This will be measured by:
