The modern four-court facility is being funded by the University, Sportscotland, Tennis Scotland, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), a private donor and the St Andrews alumni community.
Work is scheduled to begin this week, with completion set for September.
The new centre will allow the University to run a comprehensive and inclusive tennis programme that caters for increasing participation, competitive opportunities and coaching for all ages and levels.

Mike Aitken, St Andrews Director of Tennis, said: "The building of a four-court indoor centre is hugely exciting for the whole tennis community. It will be a fantastic venue offering a full coaching and competitive programme as well as pay and play for members of the community.
"We will cater for students, staff, schools, local clubs and disability groups by offering sessions for all levels."
St Andrews Director of Sport, Stephen Stewart, said: "We are thoroughly delighted that with the installation of the new four-court indoor tennis centre we will now be able to offer our students, local schools and the community the opportunity to train and play in a quality, fit for purpose facility all year round."
