The diagrams describe the current layout of a particular university’s sports center, as well as showing the way it will appear following a redevelopment proposal.
Overall, the center is set to experience a number of changes, the most striking of which are the expansion of the main building and the addition of sports facilities and conveniences at the expense of two outdoor courts. These changes will transform the center into an entirely indoor, more comprehensive sports complex.
At present, the center is divided into three main parts, with two outdoor courts lying to the east and west of a building. Upon entering the building, one can immediately see a reception desk, to the left and right of which are doorways leading to a changing room and a seating area, respectively. These flank a 25m pool, and to the north of this pool is a gym.
The proposal shows a comprehensive overhaul of the center, with all facilities being integrated into one structure whose size is nearly triple that of the current building. The entrance area will accommodate a sports shop and a cafe in its southwest and southeast corners, in that order, both adjacent to new changing rooms. The western outdoor courts will be transformed into a leisure pool, while the eastern courts will be repurposed into a sports hall, accompanied by two dance studios to the right. Finally, the existing facilities in the current building are set to remain unchanged, leaving aside the gym, which will be extended eastwards, approaching the dance studios.
