The document discusses emerging concepts around co-locating community facilities like schools, sports facilities, medical clinics, and other shared spaces. It provides examples of projects that integrate these different functions into centralized hubs to promote public health, social interaction, and efficient use of resources. New guidelines are being developed around standardizing co-located facility models at different population levels with a focus on active recreation spaces. Case studies from around the world demonstrate both urban and suburban models for multi-purpose community infrastructure hubs.

1. SPORTATION – A New Paradigm Education & Sport - MORE THAN A GAME

3. Global Projects

4. Local Projects

5. Professional Venue – School use

6. Sport + Education Different Models: Local Knowledge

7. Sport is as much about the competitors as it is about the spectators....

8. Key Issues: WHO reports 70% of the UAE population are over weight & Obese Diabetes is the 2 nd highest levels in the world Is expected to double by 2030 It starts at home but is supported and educated at school . Sport + Venue Sport/Health & Education

9. Social Schools Initiative

10. Promote role of Schools as complete community centre's Sports Medical Cultural/Community Vibrant integrated centre's of community life Vision

11. Provide better level of medical, sports & social services to Rural communities Create central community focal points Utilise existing infrastructure to minimise costs and maximise land use efficiency Intent

12. Bring compatible land uses together to maximize synergies Maximise public use of school facilities wherever possible Where public access to school not possible, other facilities located adjacent to school Create activity around central community nodes Maximise efficiencies in building costs, management & maintenance Strategies

13. Sports and Cultural Facilities can be shared with community subject to management/operational solutions Case Study – Al Khatem School

14. Key emerging concepts & approaches

15. Emerging Concepts & Approaches New Types of Facilities

16. Variations by settlement type Urban, Suburban, Rural Variations by centres hierarchy Neighbourhood, community, district, multi-district, region or territory Variations by density condition Low, medium, high 1.Encouring Variations in Standards

17. Per capita standards X sq.m per person Maintaining current per capita provision People to part of a facility People per swimming pool lane People per sports court People per doctor 2. Investigating different approaches to setting standards

18. Co-located facilities Single service facilities located adjacent to each other on the one plot. Integrated facilities Single service facilities located together on the one plot, in the same complex with shared central services. Adjacent facilities Single service facilities located on adjacent plots 3. Encouraging New Types of Facilities

19. Facilities sized to population needs Localism in service delivery i.e. frequent needs met locally, infrequent/ special needs met centrally. New facilities planned to expand as population needs build up over time Finer understanding of when a full facility is needed Facility formats and sizes can respond to the surrounding context In combination these benefits contribute to efficiencies in land use, capital and revenue spending. Emerging Concept Benefits New Type of facilities

20. Existing UPC and Abu Dhabi ministries & agencies advice Concept of co-location, integration or adjacency of facilities already emerging in advice from: ADEC HAAD Police and Civil Defence ADNOC UPC Emerging Concepts

21. Victorian Growth Councils Illustrate spatial models for potential co-location configurations Number of options for the co-located elements according to local community needs. Guidelines illustrate how community infrastructure forms can be arranged in a co-located geographic setting In what is referred to as: Community Infrastructure Hubs Level 1 to 10,000 people Emerging Concepts New Standards and Guidelines, New Facilities and Co-location Active/Passive Recreations Area – 66%

22. Community Infrastructure Hubs Level 2 to 30,000 people Emerging Concepts New Standards and Guidelines, New Facilities and Co-location Active/Passive Recreations Area – 49%

23. Community Infrastructure Hubs Level 3 to 60,000 people Emerging Concepts New Standards and Guidelines, New Facilities and Co-location Active/Passive Recreations Area – 73%
