The aquatics centre is the next phase of the Aberdeen Sports Village development, building on the 拢28m regional sports centre which opened in August 2009 and is a partnership between the University, Sportscotland and Aberdeen City Council.
To be built on the site of the former Linksfield Academy, the ASV aquatics centre will include a 10-lane 50m pool, diving facilities and spectator seating for 600 people.
The centre will provide long course training opportunities for elite swimmers who currently have no facilities north of Stirling and provide a community facility that will encourage participation in water-based activities at all ages and abilities.
Graham is in the final stages of completing the refurbishment of the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh. It also refurbished the Maryhill baths and built the Pleasance Sports Complex for the University of Edinburgh.
Regional director Neil McFarlane said: "This is a tremendously important project for Graham and we look forward to starting work on the Aquatics Centre.
"We have significant experience of building leisure facilities around Scotland and as our first major contract in Aberdeen, the new Aquatics Centre is a project we are very proud to be delivering."
Work on site is set to start in August.聽
