The Springfields Academy Enhances Outdoor Sports Facilities with a Covered MUGA
The Springfields Academy in Calne is dedicated to providing their pupils with excellent opportunities for learning, growth, and physical activity. To support their mission, the school wanted to create a reliable, all-weather sports space. A&S Landscape was chosen to design and install a durable solution, and this has transformed the school’s outdoor area.

Challenges:
- The existing outdoor surface was not suitable for year-round use.
- Weather conditions often disrupted outdoor PE lessons and sports activities.
- The academy required a robust, long-lasting structure to ensure safety and reliability.
- They wanted a seamless design that blended with the school’s surroundings.
Our Solution:
A&S Landscape worked closely with The Springfields Academy to design and install a Motiva Covered MUGA™ structure that would provide full weather protection and enhance the existing outdoor area. We designed and installed a steel-framed canopy, complete with hot dip galvanising for maximum durability. The design also included Alu-Tuff™ guttering and downpipes, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal. As part of our full-package service, we also laid a rubber surface, providing a safe and reliable ground for students to begin playing sports on.
Key Features and Materials:
- Motiva Covered MUGA™ structure, that provides a wide unobstructed space for sporting activities, whilst providing shelter from all weathers
- Hot dip galvanised finish for maximum longevity
- Alu-Tuff™ aluminium box profile guttering and downpipes
- Opal roofing to allow natural light while reducing glare
- Black rubber surfacing
Results:
- A year-round, weatherproof space for PE lessons and sports activities
- Enhanced safety with the rubber surface underfoot
- A durable, low-maintenance structure built to last
- Improved use of outdoor space, regardless of weather conditions
Conclusion:
The addition of the Motiva Covered MUGA™ has given The Springfields Academy a high-quality, all-weather facility that supports both P.E and extracurricular activities. By overcoming the challenges of limited outdoor coverage, the academy now benefits from a safe, durable and versatile sports space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. This investment not only enhances the student experience but also reflects the school’s commitment to providing the very best opportunities for their pupils.
