SPORTS COMPLEX
Literature study sports complex

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.




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 announcers 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
BASIC REQUIREMNTS OF A SPORTS COMPLEX
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 780800mm recommended
Minimum clear seatway 305 mm
Width of seats 460500mm for seats without arms
500mm for seats with arms




Benches without backs.
Row width 610mm min recommended
Minimum clear seatway 400mm
Width of seats 460500mm
These allow closer spacing but are less
comfortable.
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 spectators eye in the first row
The sight of spectator is determined by the following principal factors :
SIGHT OF SPECTATOR
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 510-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 125150 spaces.
Traditional layout of changing rooms
GYMNASIUM

SKATING
FIRST AID FACILITIES
Large numbers of spectators in sports
grounds are a source of
danger to themselves, particularly
from:
Tripping, slipping and falling
Crowd pressure on terraces and exits
and
Fire and chaos.
All spectators should be able to leave a sports ground within 8minutes.
If there are combustible stands (such as constructed of
timber) spectators must be able to be cleared from them within 2 Minutes.
An exit or escape route be less than 1.1 m wide, minimum headroom 2.4 m
No flight should have less than three or more
than 16 risers and two flights with more than 12 risers should have a turn
between.
Ramps should not be be steeper than 10 per cent ( 1:10 )

which consumes minimum energy. The 60 Watt of LED lights provides more illumination than 400 Watt of sodium vapour
lamps. The average life time of each LED light is 50,000 hours and due to their advanced technology these lights require
very little maintenance as well
