PREOSPORT – TÜBINGEN (DE)

Construction of a preosport canopy in Tübingen, Germany

The structure is a timber frame with a steel roof to accommodate photovoltaic panels.

The facades are semi-open, with microperforated fabric at the top and wood cladding at the bottom. This allows natural ventilation of the building.

Inside, a rebound wall has been installed in compliance with DIN 18032.

Tübingen’s pupils and sports clubs can now enjoy a new open-air hall with the dimensions of a two-court gymnasium. It houses one longitudinal handball court, three cross-court basketball courts, three cross-court volleyball courts and nine badminton courts. The hall has a playing height of 5.5 m/16ft at the edge of the court and reaches a height of 8.5 m /26ft at the ridge.

And thanks to solar power generation, the sports hall will become a positive-energy building, producing more energy than it consumes.
