Contern Sports Hall

The municipality of Contern wishes to extend the sports complex of the "Um Ewent" school campus and add a new sports hall. It will be used for school physical education, as well as for extracurricular sports clubs and various sporting events.

The new sports hall, adjacent to the existing hall, will house a double sports field, changing rooms and stands, two multi-purpose sports halls and their changing rooms, as well as the consolidated janitorial facilities for the school campus.

The architecture of the new building favors optimized use of natural light according to the function of each room. This new hall is located to the southwest of the existing one and is connected by a common main entrance.

A wooden beam structure allows the roof to span the entire width of the building without intermediate columns. The roof is designed with three sawtooth sections featuring north-facing windows to maximize natural light and ensure a glare-free sports hall. The slope of these sawtooths is covered with solar panels, optimally oriented south-east without the need for a substructure.

The first floor consists of two areas: the janitorial rooms and the multipurpose sports rooms. This floor has independent access.

Located on the second floor, the large sports field can be divided into two smaller fields by a double curtain to allow for parallel training sessions. Equipped with stands for 150 spectators on the second floor, it is also suitable for sporting events open to the public.

A shared foyer with ticket counters links the two buildings with the public entrance. The main corridor leads directly to the locker rooms, which have direct access to the sports field to avoid crossing flows.

People with reduced mobility can enter through the sports access on the first floor and use the elevator to access all areas of the building.
