INTRODUCTION
• A sports complex is a group of sports facilities available in
same location within the boundary of that area. For
example, there are track and field stadiums, football
stadiums, baseball stadiums, swimming pools, and
gymnasiums. This area is a sports complex, for fitness
• Sport complex are very important in terms of health and
fitness. In context of Nepal there is very limited numbers of
the sport complex which are in use but not up to the mark.

Role of sports
“That only the strong shall thrive, that surely the weak will perish and only
fit will survive”
-Robert w. service
“the preservation of health is aduty, few seen conscious that there is a thing
such as physical morality”
- Hobert spencer

Types of sports complexes
The variation at the present time:
• The leisure centre- commercially sponsored
• The educational sports campus- sports are being taught
• The community sports centre/ complex

Concepts of sports
• Running and swimming were the only means to move around in the
olden days, for food and shelter
• Archery was a hunting skill and even wrestling and boxing (without
gloves) used to get food and even for safety from wild animals
• Now these basic ways of survival are for the purpose of measuring the
human beings strength against other

Circulation

Changing room and shower facilities
• Typically, manufacturers supply locker units that are 0.5 m
deep, 0.3 m wide and arranged in 1.8 m high columns. These
can contain either two individual ‘half height’ lockers or a
single ‘full height’ locker.
• Some should be wider (say 0.4 m x 1.8 m) to accommodate
larger sports bags, children’s buggies and mobility aids.

• Allow one shower point to every six changing
spaces. Provide a separate dry off area and include
a proportion of cubicle showers
• Shower outlets should be at 0.75 m centres with
0.45-0.5 m between end fittings and side walls.
Fittings carried around an internal corner should
be to an increased space standard to allow for
wheelchair access.
• Showers on opposing walls should be spaced 2.5 m
apart to permit a central circulation route and will
require a separate dry off area to one end.

Table: Size of courts and spaces that can be used.

• Minimum room height generally 2.5m for ancillary spaces
• Space requirement per person is 0.7 to 1.0 m2, based on allowances of
0.4 m bench length per person, 0.3 m sitting depth and minimum 1.5 m
between benches or between bench and wall (1.8 m recommended)
• One shower per 6 persons (but a minimum of 8 showers and 4 wash-
basins per facility), shower space including a minimum circulation area
of 1.0 m2 and circulation space at least 1.2 m wide.
• Training supervisors', umpire/referees' room, perhaps including first aid
post (minimum 8 m2 for separate first aid room), with changing cubicle
and shower; can also be used as an administration room if correctly
positioned, designed and of sufficient size.
• For cleaning/maintenance equipment stores, allow 0.04m2 per 100m2
(8m2 minimum) for hand tools and 0.06m2 per 100m2 (12m2 minimum)
for machinery. If central services or outside contractors (who transport
their own equipment) are used, this space can be dispensed with.
• Stores for sports and maintenance equipment for adjacent outdoor
facilities have to be included in the room program of the sports hall if
separate buildings are not provided. Allow 0.3m2 per 100m2 of useable
sports area (minimum area of 15m2).

MEDIA TRIBUNE AND COMMENTARY
It should be centrally
located in a position that
provides an unobstructed
view of the field of play,
without the possibility of
interference from
spectators.

COMMENTARY
POSITIONS
• Commentary position
should be in a centre in the
main grandstand on the
same side as the main
camera positions.
• Commentary position
should be separated from
spectators by Plexiglas or
other suitable means
foracoustic separation.

• Wheelchair users should not be
isolated from their companions.
• Wheelchair seating must be
provided in all areas
• Companion seat next to
wheelchair seat
• Wheelchair seating locations
must provide line of sight
comparable to those provided to
other spectators
• Food items and other service
areas must be provided within
reach of a person using a
wheelchair
WHEELCHAIR USERS

Arrangement for camera /
media / lighting
• Camera block should be at the top of
stadium
• Different location to get full view
• Natural lighting
• Side light: avoid glare> vary intensity
• Sky light: cause glare, so north light is
preferred
• Artificial lighting: 300 lux(recreation)
• 500 lux (competition) indirect

Concept of material used and
structural system
• Light weight, cheap , easy to renovate
• Only steel and A.C. sheets used in
moulded form
• False ceiling is done for insulation
• Thermocol, A.C. decking used to cover
larger span
• Steel is suitable to cover spans without
columns

Long Span Construction
Common Structural Forms
1. Insitu RC, tensioned
2. Precast concrete, tensioned
3. Structural steel – erected on spot
4. Structural steel – prefabricated and installed on spot
5. Portal frame – insitu RC
6. Portal frame – precast
7. Portal frame – prefabricated steel Example of structures:
 Cable structures
 Tent structures
 Pneumatic structures
 Arch structures
 Flat trusses
 Curved trusses
 Space trusses
 Beam structures
 Frame structures
 Slab structures
 Plate structures
 Folded structures
 Shell structures

Comparison of basic structural forms for leisure buildings
Braced frame in simple construction Portal frame Truss
Advantages
Simple design Long span Very long spans possible
Minimum column sizes and masses Designed to be stable in-plane Heavy loads may be carried
Simple analysis of determinate structure
Member sizes and haunches may be optimised
for efficiency
Modest deflection
Disadvantages
Relatively short span Software required for efficient design Generally more expensive fabrication
Bracing needed for in-plane stability
Limited to relatively light vertical loading, and
modest cranes to avoid excessive deflections
Generally bracing is used for in-plane stability
Can be uneconomic if serviceability governs
the floor design
. .

Seating facilities
 Stands for spectators can be fixed or movable. For small
stands with up to 10 steps of seating, the gradient of the
rows can be linear (height 0.28-0.32 m).
 Height of eye level: 1.25m seated, 1.65m standing.
 Height of sight-line: 0.15m seated, 0.12m standing.
 Distance for standing spaces 0.4-0.45 m
 The point of reference for the sight-line is 0.5m above the
playing area boundary marking
 Spectator areas behind goals should be protected with
mobile safety nets.
 Access from below is more cost-effective (saving on
staircases and separate entrances) but has a disadvantage
in that people arriving during an event will disturb the
players and the spectators already present.

• Total height of seat should be 1200mm (4’)
(from the base of lower tread to top of height of man)
• Seat height=450mm(1’6”)
• Seat width=800mm (2’8”)
• Gap of one person to legs of other person on behind
=250mm
• Width of legs of persons=200mm(8”)
• Tread width=82-92mm(32-36”)
• Riser=8 or 11mm to 57mm (3 or 4” to 22.2”)

storing small
trampolines

Acoustics
• The level of sound insulation within the
building fabric to prevent distracting sound
from external sources being transmitted into
the hall should also be considered

Services
• HVAC system:-
The following systems are often seen
as the most appropriate for sports halls:
• Radiant heating ceiling panels with a separate
ventilation system
• Combined ducted warm air and ventilation
delivering through air handling units (AHU).

CAFETERIA

INTERNATIONAL CASE STUDY
• SAN WAYAO COMMUNITY SPORTS CENTER

LOCATION MAP
• LOCATION: Jin Gui Lu, Wuhou Qu,
Chengdu Shi, Sichuan Sheng, China
• ARCHITECT: CSWADI
• AREA: 11936 m²
• The large sports complex is tightly
tucked in a high-rise- residential
community.
• Its soft appearance provides a
comfortable experience that is well-
lit within, and equally striking out.
• The building takes what little footprint it has and is able to
create both a fitness center and green space that functions as one.

• The relationship between structure and space portray a beautiful balance
of form and function.
• The u-shaped glass panels provide a translucent facade that gently shows
off its large cross-braced structural elements.
• The simple arrangement of columns and beams open the space
volumetrically as well as illuminated naturally.
• Every piece of steel is painted to show off its strength and beauty within
the larger complex of spaces.

• The site is divided into
1. SPORTS
2. RETAIL and
3. ACTIVITIES VENUE
•Multiple dwelling
•SAN WAYAO community
sports center
•Ancillary building
•Retail
•High rise residence

• The idea of literally pushing more space out of the building and site
create a unique cohesiveness between the two.
• To make the building and site integrated for producing friendly sports
space .
• Created a sloping shape of the building by “extruding” and connecting
the sports ground on the east with walk able sloping roof leading to a
stronger space perception of the building as a public facility.

• The south facade allows for optimal solar gain and views, while still allowing
the tiered effect on the stepped green space. The building funnels its shape
to the East exterior focal point.

Climate Analysis and Response
• The Koppen climate type of pheonix is hot desert so the
project is designed to resist heat gain.
• One way in which it accomplishes this is by not glazing on
its south and west facades.
• The psychrometric chart shows a large diurnal swing and
humidity also has a wide range.
• Winds comes from every direction over flat landscapes,
which must be taken into consideration for calculating the
lateral loads on the building.

PROGRAM
•The main program for building is exercise space split
between the suspended track, the sport court and the
exercise floor.
• The spaces are organized such that one enters in the
lobby and reception space then moves past the offices to
the lockers and then can exercise either in sport court or
upstairs on the exercise floor.

STRUCTURE
• The building is steel concrete
constuction.
• Trusses are used to span larger spaces
like the basketball courts and exercise
floor.
• Diagonal bracing and shear walls are
used to help resist lateral loads.
• All loads are transferred to the ground
by columns throughout the building.
• The building is supported by concrete
slab foundation with concrete
footings supporting major structural
loads.

ENVELOPE: ZINC SCREEN WALL
• The zinc cladding is the outermost layer of the wall.
• It is very corrosive resistant and has a very long life .
South east exterior

THERMAL AND VENTILATION SYSTEMS
• This building uses an HVAC system to maintain comfort
and ventilation .
• The south and west facades have no glazing to help keep
building cool.
• The conditioned air is distributed through ducts that are
exposed throughout the building

CIRCULATION
• Throughout the building,
the circulation is meant to
be as accessible as possible
for people with different
disabilities.
• The passages are wide and
main access to the
basketball courts is by
ramp .
• The main vertical
circulation cores are
located along the main
corridor
First Floor Corridor

EGRESS AND FIRE LIFE SAFETY
• The building has a fairly open
floor plan and a space will
not have specific exit like a
door.
• Along with two vertical
circulation, there is an
additional egress stair that is
on exterior part.
• Instead of making it like a
normal fire escape, the
architect made it a part of
building form the curve of
the zinc is cut out around the
stair giving the south facade
more visual interest. South facade
