Sports College Building in Netherlands

Posted by admin on October 23, 2010 Architecture Design

This Fontys Sports College Municipality of Eindhoven, Netherlands design 2009 -2010 from Mecanoo Architects. The athletics estate first step has been made in turning the sport park into a sport estate with the new Fontys Sports College coming to Eindhoven’s Genneper Parks. Mecanoo’s design for the new Fontys Sports College creates an important link in the network of sport accommodations and facilities in Genneper Parks. Mecanoo has created a social sports facility design that contributes to the vibrancy of Genneper Parks. The building is equipped with a sustainable energy system, making it largely possible to provide for its own energy. The educational features in this compact building are efficiently oriented to the north.

Fontys Sports College, with state of the art sports facilities and a comprehensive sustainability concept, will house Fontys Sports College’s three curricula which are currently housed at the Sittard and Tilburg locations. The glass plinth gives way to a black brick façade beginning on the first floor and sculpturally building up and around the rest of the building. To save on cooling, the south side features a building canopy. The energy roof makes use of solar energy. Further the excess of heat and cold of the buildings in the vicinity is being used and stored in two buffer tanks in the garage.
