External Storage at Peffermill Playing Fields, University of Edinburgh

A new sustainable storage unit has been installed at the University of Edinburgh’s Peffermill Playing Fields, enhancing support for student sport and grounds operations.

Delivered by Sportex Group and supplied by urbanspec, the unit provides secure, high-capacity storage in a compact, weatherproof design, and features a sedum green roof – aligning with the University’s ‘Wild Campus’ strategy and local biodiversity goals.

Located just a short distance from the city centre, Peffermill is one of Edinburgh’s premier sporting venues, with around 20 pitches and top-class facilities. The new unit supports daily equipment needs while contributing to the University’s wider commitment to sustainability and site improvement.
