A place to work, reflect, socialise, train and compete

published in sb magazine 3/2022

 

The 32,516 m² building includes a multi-use field house with a 200 m track and tennis courts, 1,400-­spectator ice arena, an Olympic-sized pool, a competition gymnasium for basketball and ­volleyball, squash courts, a strength and fitness center and multi-purpose studios, supported by locker rooms, sports medicine facilities and offices. Key to the design by Hopkins Architects and Sasaki was deliberate transparency – conveying a sense of intimacy despite its expansive scale.
