Located at the northwest corner of the Shaoxing University campus, these public sports facilities address the scarcity of land by stacking playing fields vertically, with a football pitch at the top. Designed by The Architectural Design & Research Institute of Zhejiang University (UAD), the building exposes its structure of arches and other curved elements, which give a sense of openness and continuity while ensuring natural light and ventilation.
The basketball and volleyball courts are placed at the far ends, while the badminton court and the fitness and martial-arts rooms, which require climate control, take up the center, separated by walls. A ramp with white perforated aluminum plates connects the different areas.
