This is a project for the new construction of a building to be used as a sports centre, which is an extension of the existing facilities, currently used as a multi-purpose hall. The building is planned as a three-floor building, the fourth façade is the connection with the existing building. The building consists of basement -2 and -1, ground floor and first floor.
From a new access and a new single access control point, the two pavilions (new and existing) come into contact, optimising their management to the maximum. Separate public and athlete circulation, by changing the side of the existing stands to the old pavilion, we have solved the problem of mixed circulation. The implementation of a PAV 3 allows us to provide the sports centre with flexibility when it comes to having sports activities and other activities that are currently taking place in the pavilion.
The new construction is designed entirely in wood. Pillars and beams of laminated timber, with spans of approximately 23 m, support a light roof of wooden panel and rigid foam core as thermal insulation and a top finish based on zinc plates.
The ventilated façade, with an exterior finish of wooden slats and a slate stone base, create an image of warmth recognised in the buildings of La Cerdanya. The speed of execution and maximum sustainability of this solution make the construction proposal optimal. From a lighting point of view, the façade is modulated from the main structure of pillars and a substructure that accommodates full timber and window openings that combine folding glass windows and high-performance cellular polycarbonate enclosures. This provides an excellent level of light and good ventilation, without glare and playing with sensations of transparency and nuanced views to the outside.
The actions proposed for the old pavilion are aimed on the one hand at improving its functional features; changing the new bleachers on one side, improving accessibility from a single access, eliminating public-sportsmen interferences, improving the facilities and making them operational.
