ETH Sports Center
Zürich, Switzerland
The Sports Center is part of the ETH Campus and the new Science City at the Hönggerberg in Zurich. It houses the Institute of Human Movement Sciences and Sport and offers at the same time a wide range of sports facilities to all university affiliates. The building blends into the terrain, hiding its true volume in the rising slope. The ETH Sports Center was the first public building in Switzerland to fulfill the ›Minergie-ECO‹ standards.
Urban Context
In a concealed manner, the Sports Center blends into the terrain at the eastern edge of the ETH Campus, where the dense urban development rather abruptly merges into the landscape of the Käferberg. On the outside, the building reveals nothing of its rich interior and weaves the campus into the mountain scenery. Facing west to Science City it appears as a glass, crystalline body; when viewed from the Käferberg its sports facilities on the roof make it appear as part of the landscape.
Solic Construction
Under the shimmering green glass envelope, a solid construction with load-bearing ceilings, interior and exterior walls is hidden. With a span of 33 meters, the reinforced concrete beams of the main frame span the triple sports hall, the grandstand and the entrance hall.
Controlled ventilation, intensive daylight and largely recyclable building materials, which are produced with as little energy consumption as possible, enabled an ecological and sustainable construction.
Sophisticated Organisation
The surprising capacity of the space becomes appar¬ent from the foyer, providing a view out into the depths of the building and leading to the grassy ramps.
The access paths, auditorium, changing rooms, exercise rooms and gymnastics halls are all grouped on different floors around the triple sports hall, which forms the heart of the sports center.
The configuration of the interior spaces, along with the functionality and a clear building signage system allow for simple use orientation. A ramp marks a gentle transition, showing users the free access to the surrounding landscape.

Outisde a Green Crystal
In complete contrast to the bright interior is the dark shell. The partly opaque, partly transparent façade made of triple insulating glass creates the impression of an irregularly cut green crystal. The glazing reflects the surroundings, so that the building seems to blend into the forest landscape.
