This sports center’s structure features a slender cross-section that runs consistently through all areas of the building and creates a long hall down to its innermost core of exposed timber.
The building owners’ requirements for sustainability, regional output, a short construction period and a design-to-cost default led to a highly prefabricated wooden construction. The supporting structure permeates all areas of the building and characterizes the spatial and architectural appearance of the Hauptnutzräume: foyer, hall, and fitness rooms. The main structure of spruce consists of 40 slender columns, closely arranged in a row and a partly two-story frame made of glulam.
As a secondary structure and also as stiffening flexible shear panels, three-layer plates were used for the roofs. The basement ceiling under the wet areas is designed as a timber-concrete composite slab with beams of combined Esche-/Fichte-Brettschichtholz and teilvorfabrizierten girder plates, cast on the spot over concrete. The largest part of a 35-foot span is loaded with 15 tons of heavy precast concrete shower stalls.
