The new sports hall was designed in place of the old school gym that has been destroyed in fire. The two-part sports hall is made to increase the overall quality of life in the local community by providing wide range of social, recreational and sporting activities. Building construction utilizes the precast concrete techologies of large warehouses as well as large-span timber truss structures. Spatial continuity is achieved in the interior as terrain declines from east to west: sports hall gallery on the school square level descends through tiered grandstands to the lower sports courts and main entrance level. Facade panels were designed as a system of prefabricated concrete elements, using rough dark green diabase aggregate made to resemble local materials. Western facade has the characteristic sloping smooth precast concrete panels that allow light to penetrate the interior but prevent excessive sun exposure.
