The building, which is pretty enclosed, presents itself as a ‘do’-building. The indoor sports field is literally reflected outside by applying line markings at the facades. This way, the building can be used as a tennis wall, soccer wall etc. The building animates the students and their environment.

The walls of the volume, made of doubled walls, were built in waterproof exposed concrete with pur insulation panels in-between. The walls of 8 meters high were poured in one phase. The roof structure consists of a grid floor made of laminated wood, suspended from three steel trusses and one steel truss in the other direction. This results in a three-dimensional sculpture.
