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.
BASIC REQUIREMNTS OF A SPORTS COMPLEX
• 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 announcer’s 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
ORIENTATION OF THE STADIUM

•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 780–800mm recommended
•Minimum clear seatway 305 mm
•Width of seats 460–500mm for seats without arms
500mm for seats with arms

Benches without backs.

•Row width 610mm min recommended
•Minimum clear seatway 400mm
•Width of seats 460–500mm
•These allow closer spacing but are
less comfortable.
SIGHT OF SPECTATOR
The sight of spectator is determined by the following principal factors :
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 spectator’s eye in the first row
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 5–10-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
Traditional layout of changing rooms
for staff, disabled, etc., say 125–150 spaces.
GYMNASIUM
SKATING
FIRST AID FACILITIES
EXITS FROM SPORTS GROUNDS

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 2½ 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 )

 Lighting and illumintion

60 solar energy lights in the compound of Talkatora Indoor Stadium. These lights are made of Light Emission Diode
chip 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
The stadium has:
• one competition ring
• four warm-up areas
Facilities
• a tunnel to facilitate movement of the athletes from the Facility Block to
the main stadium.
• acoustic ceiling of dome,
• scoreboard, video screens
• sports lighting.
• 184 CCTV cameras,
• a media centre with computers,
• anti-doping centre,
• gym
• separate rooms for boxers with a bed, a cupboard and a rack.
• A number of environment-friendly material and energy-efficient devices
have been used in this block to make it a green building. The venue has
been redesigned and oriented in such a way so as to take advantage of
solar angles and wind direction. The roof of the stadium will also have solar
energy panels.
