The aging Limburg Gymnastics Training Center was not only renovated last year, but also expanded, with an additional building. With a total of 300 square meters, the athletes will now have an increased size training area and improved training conditions with the latest equipment, mats, and newly developed foam pits. A closed foam pit with 20 square meters and two open foam pits with two different pit depths on a total area of 57 square meters complement the equipment in the training centre perfectly. In addition, as a special feature, a large wall mounted trampoline, on the side of the foam pit, can be lowered and stored in “Murphy Bed” style, providing methodical and progressive training even to the youngest athletes of the gymnastics school.
A particular challenge was to make floor adjustments in the existing hall, in such a way that would guarantee a barrier free environment, eliminating steps or tripping hazards, created by different heights, between mats and equipment. The dismantling of outdated ceiling equipment, installation of new ceiling ring systems, a fresh coat of paint and new light fixtures, offer the opportunity for the gymnastics centre to shine under a new light.
The successful realization of this project was mainly due to the ever so close communication between the client (district Limburg-Weilburg), the responsible architect's office, the hall users and us.
We wish the gymnasts and their trainers much joy and success.
