SPORTS COMPLEX •A sports complex is an enclosed area, often circular or oval-shaped, designed to showcase and practice of various sports events. •Sports complex will have a stadium complex that is to be the most modern and advance which will be able to facilitate international sports and mega-events. •It will have a dedicated cricket stadium , an outdoor multipurpose stadium for sports like football and rugby. An indoor multi-purpose stadium for sports like basketball swimming pool , skating rink ,volleyball and a dedicated hockey stadium.


In relation to a city a sports complex must fit in well with the following • local topography •Good transport •Supply facilities •Closeness to industrial area •Climatic conditions •As a rule the stadium is partly below the ground lvl with the excavated earth heaped up around it. •The size of the inner sports field can be based loosely on the size of a football pitch . •For athletics stadium there should be a running track surrounding the field.

BASIC REQUIREMNTS OF A SPORTS COMPLEX • Full provision for all field events • A separate warming-up area (desirable) • Changing and washing facilities for 200 athletes in the proportion two-thirds male to one-third female • Additional separate changing accommodation for boys and girls is desirable • A covered stand to seat least 2000 spectators. • Appropriate toilet and car parking facilities. • An announcer’s box and provision for the press, broadcasting and television • Officials’ room • Equipment rooms and store • The perimeter of the track not covered by the stand should, if possible, be terraced to provide further spectator

ORIENTATION OF THE STADIUM

•The orientation of the the ancient stadiums were determined by the variable timing of the contest . •Axes ran from west to east or north to south. •In present time the main axis is usually north-east to south-west to avoid direct sunlight . •Access gates are situated to the east •Turnstiles are provided so as to direct the stream of visitors to the various stadium entry points.

DIFFERENT STADIUM LAYOUT

TYPES OF SEATING Seating with backs, fixed and fold-up •Row width 780–800mm recommended •Minimum clear seatway 305 mm •Width of seats 460–500mm for seats without arms 500mm for seats with arms

Benches without backs. •Row width 610mm min recommended •Minimum clear seatway 400mm •Width of seats 460–500mm •These allow closer spacing but are less comfortable.

SIGHT OF SPECTATOR The sight of spectator is determined by the following principal factors :

The assumed constant of ‘the crown’, i.e. the distance from the eye to the top of the head which is known as the C value The tread depth or seating row depth The point of focus (the middle of the innermost athletics track or the near touchline in football or rugby) The height of the spectator’s eye in the first row

TYPES OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL HALL

TYPES OF GAMES HALL

SWIMMING POOL Pool capacities may be determined by dividing the water surface area by 2. Thus a 25 x 13 m pool can accommodate to reasonable comfort standards 325 ÷ 2 = 162 bathers. Changing cubicles, lockers and car parking provision can be based upon the same analysis plus the following allowances: • Locker allowance based upon pool capacity, with a further 162 changing = 324 lockers, usually in two- to three-tier compartments • Changing cubicle provision may be based upon a time factor of 5–10-minute occupation per bather. Thus in any one hour 162 bathers in the pool plus a further 162 changing ready to enter the pool = 324 bathers ÷ 10 minutes = 32 cubicles • Car parking provision may be calculated thus: 324 bathers, 3 persons per car average = 101 spaces + a further allowance for staff, disabled, etc., say 125–150 spaces.
