solution: |
|
The design is efficient and
multi-functional. It also takes advantage of the
severe grade change and proximity to the athletic
fields.
The field level holds four international sized
squash courts, a fitness center, a training room, a
multi-purpose room large enough to hold an NCAA
regulation wrestling match and a 100-seat spectator
gallery.
The court level encompasses a full-size basketball
court, two practice courts, a retractable batting
cage, a fencing area, and locker rooms. Spectators
are accommodated by 600 permanent and retractable
bleacher seats.
Through responsible fiscal management and creative
material use, the project came in at 8% less than
the estimated construction cost. |
