Sports Complex Botenlaan
In LIAG’s proposal for this new-build complex, approximately 4.800 m2
in size, the emphasis has been placed on the human scale and feel of
the building. Parts of the building, which consists largely of rounded
off corners, will be integrated with the site and harmonise with the
natural surroundings. This approach has two major advantages: not only
does this improve the human scale of the building, but it also ensures
excellent insulation for the building.The construction of the
complex consists of horizontal strips with rounded corners. In order to
guarantee each of the various users their own identity, the various
strips have been produced in the colour that suits the association
concerned at each one’s location.There is also to be a school at
the Botenlaan site: the Christiaan Huygens College. Students from this
school will be taking their gym lessons in the new sports hall during
the day, while in the evenings and at the weekend a number of sports
clubs will be using it for training and competitions. The sports hall’s
design is readily in keeping with the new school building for the
Christiaan Huygens College in terms of shape.An effort has been made
to design an attractive building to reinforce the appeal of the entire
sports complex. It has to be a place where students and sportsmen and
women will want to come to make use of all the facilities on offer. It
will provide a commanding presence at the Botenlaan Sports Complex and,
consequently, will be a place of importance to the district’s image.
Sustainable buildingThe
design also sets standards in terms of sustainability for sports
facilities; through a package of measures and facilities, the complex
achieves a GPR score above 8. This score owes itself in part to a
geothermal heat pump (GSHP) and High Efficiency++ glazing. The re-use
(C2C) of existing materials from the former building for the green gable
walls and for the creation of paving have also contributed to this high
score.Completion of the complex is expected in 2011, meeting the
goals set by the municipality of Eindhoven. It will be inviting in terms
of use and will have a clear relationship with outdoor sports. This is
intended to make sport even more appealing.More project information on website LIAG architects
