It was a very successful project. In comparison to the existing indoor court building, the new courts building omit the uses of energy and save roughly BND$ 90,000.00 (USD$ 75,000.00) per year on electricity bills. The courts receive eight hours day-light all year round. The multi-courts building with an area of 1,659 square meters comprise of two netball courts, two futsal courts, two basketball courts and eight badminton courts.
Warm temperature release from human body will be vacuumed out through air exchange inside the building, slow speed wind breeze at the constant temperature of 22± degrees pass through the courts by every second. The building was designed in seven meters high clearance to the lower steel trusses, thus this will give a clearance space for any sport activity. Any heat absorbed by the roof will be naturally extracted out through the top voids. For the purpose of health and safety, gentle slopes were introduced between the apron level and the finish floor level. Shanghai wash (Elastopave Polyurethene Stone) in rough finishes were installed all around the apron to prevent from any slip.
The open playing field with an area of one and half acres is in a filled ground. The new field was leveled lower than the existing surrounding. It was designed as such to channel rain water from the higher level to be collected by the field. Rain water collected by the sub-soil drains underneath the field were then directed to the storage area for the water harvesting. The slopes between the higher grounds to the field was designed with a ratio of 1 in 4 fall or more for the students easy access. The slopes are also used as an audience sitting platform for any events and a fun playing activities for children.
