Hibernian Training Centre is the training ground for Hibernian FC, in Ormiston, in the East Lothian area of Edinburgh
The training ground houses both the first team and the youth academy. The first team squad officially moved to the complex on 9 December 2007. Plans were drawn up for the facility by owner Sir Tom Farmer and then Manager John Collins
Description
The facility boasts some of the finest training facilities in the United Kingdom, and features 5 full-size grass pitches on two plateaus, one of which is a floodlit along with an additional floodlit synthetic pitch and specialist training areas for fitness work and goalkeepers, as well as an exact recreation of the pitch at Easter Road. Inside the training complex there are extensive changing facilities for both the senior squad and the Academy players.
