Sports

Sports facilities require specific requirements for the various sports to be held and the objective is to maximise the use of any facility and adaption for a range of sports usages. This requires consideration of mustering and lobby spaces, reception and control points, change facilities particularly for co-ed and visiting teams, spectator access and control, security and ample storage for sporting equipment. The relationship of any facility to its surrounds must also be taken into consideration in regards to acoustic consideration, movement and circulation of users and external access by general public should this be required. The nature of sporting uses require large spans and substantial head heights requiring close attention to structural engineering and both mechanical and natural ventilation of the spaces to minimise running costs.
