The Sport Hall building has a rectangular shape and is composed by two main volumes: the larger sports court and a smaller three-storey block. In the sports court, the roof loads are carried by timber trusses that transfer forces to the concrete walls and down into the foundations on one side, while in the stands area the loads from the roof trusses are taken by a beam-truss system supported on two timber columns positioned above the concrete wall.
The smaller volume combines glulam beams, columns and CLT panels in its upper levels, while the concrete slab at Level E2 distributes loads to the concrete elements below. The foundations consist of strip footings beneath the concrete walls and columns, and ground-bearing slabs supported on a compacted layer placed between the slab and the existing ground.
From ground level upwards, the project maximises the use of massive timber (CLT and glulam), reflecting the client’s ambition to reduce CO₂ emissions. The use of timber also enables strict fabrication tolerances, shortens the construction period on site, and reduces self-weight, leading to lower foundation loads.
Structural engineering for foundations, cast-in-place concrete structures, and CLT and glulam systems during preliminary and detailed design. Technical assistance during construction.
