The scheme forms part of the club's plans to put their first team and Academy football training operations and facilities together on one site in a new training campus.
The project includes the redevelopment of the Eddie McArdle Community Playing Fields at Simonswood Lane.
Improvements include five upgraded football pitches, new changing rooms and associated facilities including car parking for 110 vehicles, a new pedestrian and cycle pathway, lighting and improved security.
The new changing facilities on site will include six separate team changing rooms, coaches’ changing rooms and a social room for team and community use.
