Project Background
Sports and fitness facility not only creates a healthy community but also improves academic
productivity of students, teachers and staffs. Whereas only less than 5% of BUET community are
currently involved in sports and fitness activity due to lack of a proper outdoor and indoor sports
environment, swimming pool space etc. On top of that, BUET lacks a grand space that can be
used for Convocation, Conference, Job fair, Expo, University programs.
The proposed project includes building a multipurpose sports complex integrated with the DSW
office, indoor swimming pool, improvement of existing playing field to the international
standards, improve the galleries, installation of floodlights, improvement of existing drainage
system and add parking facilities for induced traffics. This report was prepared using the
approach of estimating the demand accurately to determine the demands and future scopes.

A careful assessment of the existing demand for improved fitness facilities was made to study
the possible users. The report took into consideration the number of people and range of sports,
which are keen in using the facilities for assessing the demand for indoor and outdoor sports.
After the estimation of the demand for the facilities, architectural plan and the appropriate
designs are to be developed. Based on the proposed concept and design, the report has estimated
the likely capital costs for the project. The concept, design and capital cost estimates provide the
basis for the preparation of detailed management and marketing strategies to run the project
successfully. A financial model prepared based on the estimated revenue and expenditure will
provide the information on the long-term feasibility of the proposed project.

Organizational Philosophy
The organizational philosophy encourages initiative, leadership and responsibility among the
members. The project will provide an “environment designed to teach both the physical skills of
the sport as well as emphasizing the teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline, sacrifice and
leadership that are integral parts of participating in the sport and to also teach how these skills
translate into lasting and valuable life skills beyond the sport itself”
The activities of the outcome are entirely athletic and recreational in nature. The project includes
creating a club that will determine and devise its own rules for membership from the possible
users, who are willing to participate in achieving the aims of the Club. However, the Club will
not make any discrimination based on gender, race, or disability.
The fundamental purpose of this project is to function as a sporting organization, within which
“the members can actively participate in promoting self-esteem, discipline, friendship,
cooperation, contribution, and sportsmanship” In order to support the main purpose, the Club
will strive to achieve the following purposes.
The project will apply its quality values to all levels of sports and leisure programs.The club will
design and implement activities that will support the BUET communities.
The club will design all the sports programs and its other endeavors as a means of developing the
skills levels and for providing continued opportunities for contributing to community
development.
Market/Demand Analysis:
(a) Problem Statement:
• Ideal situation: Ideally, the construction of Multipurpose Indoor Sports Complex and
swimming pool would be able to maximize the overall physical mental health status of
the stakeholder of our project.
• But the overall physical status of mental health of the stakeholder is not that up to the
mark. Because current facilities that BUET (Bangladesh University of Engineering and
Technology) provide cannot attract the stakeholder(s) very easily.
• So, to attract the greater number of students, teacher, staff and others, the quality of the
services should be increased. A swimming pool should also be constructed with all kinds
of necessary facilities.
• This problem can be solved after construction of Multipurpose Indoor Sports Complex at
BUET field along with a swimming pool.

(b) Relevance of the project idea:

The objectives of the project are:
• To create a healthy community and to enhance academic excellency of the students.
• To make involved the BUET community as high percentage as possible.
• The BUET does not have any swimming pool. So, to learn swimming BUET need to
construction.

(c) Project intervention:

• Project inputs-
i)construction of a multipurpose sports complex and a swimming pool.
ii) Improvement of BUET field and development of Football and Cricket Pitch.
iii) Provide a new space for existing DSW office.
• Project outputs-
i) A common space for the BUET community to have many indoor games
ii) A better football and cricket field
iii) A Swimming pool with good facilities.
iv) Overall, a healthy and BUET community
(d) Stakeholders:
Key stakeholders that are likely to be associated with the project intervention
• BUET students’ community
• Teachers' community and their families
• Staffs and their families
• BUET school and college
• DSCC
• RAJUK
• Bangladesh Football Federation
• Bangladesh Cricket Board
• Bangladesh Swimming Federation

(e) Demand Analysis:

(i) Current Demand Analysis:
According to the survey conducted online among BUET community, the following results are
found.

.
From the analysis of the survey, that an Indoor space along with a swimming pool is true demand
from the BUET community.

(ii) Future Demand Analysis:

As the number of students is increasing in each admission year, it is obvious that demand for
indoor sports facilities will increase in each year. By demand forecasting method, it was found
that about 1950 students will be getting admitted every year by 2050. So, the demand for indoor
sports facilities will increase year by year.

(iii) Constrains:
As in future, the demand for indoor sports facilities and swimming pools will increase, but,
BUET have a limited space to provide indoor space. BUET field is close to the Teachers
quarters, so flood light design is tough as light pollution may occur
So, the most economical design may not be sufficient in next 50 years after.
(f) SWOT analysis:
Strength: This project will boost mental and physical health of the BUET community. The
community will have an opportunity to maintain themselves fit, that will enhance their
Efficiency.
Weakness: Initial investment is large. Need enough workforce to maintain the project in a
proper way.
Opportunities: There is an opportunity to arrange diverse levels of sports competitions in this
Multipurpose Complex. There may have a paid membership to the swimming facility for out
sider.
Threats: The project may create extra traffic pressure in the BUET campus area. Congestion
may occur in the campus if transportation management is not well maintained.
Technical Analysis
(a) Location:
Our site is located in Dhaka, at the corner of BUET campus at Central Playground across Zahir
Raihan Road and Shahid Minar Road, adjacent to White Teachers Quarter. It’s geo-coordinates
are 23.7251° N, 90.3952° E .
The following facts are considered while selecting this location
i) Only BUET Central Field can accommodate the required space, aesthetics and fulfill the
objectives of our project.
ii) BUET Central Field is used by many stakeholders for outdoor games and multi-functional
occasions. Considering this aspect and at the same time to fulfill our requirements, we may use
the South-East corner of the central field that run across Zahir Raihan Road and Shahid Minar
Road.
As the central field is within the territory of BUET, we may proceed with BUET authority as the
sole owner of this site.There are several disaster risks we need to consider regarding our
site.They are:
i) Earthquake:
According to BNBC 2020, Dhaka falls in seismic zone 2 (z=0.20) and according to several
research studies Dhaka is earthquake prone to a Richter Scale value over 7.
ii) Flood:
According to the studies Dhaka may face a probable flood level 7.29m
iii) Climate Change Impact:
We identified two impacts- lowering of groundwater table, settlement of soil. For groundwater
table lowering we may need to manage alternative source of water supply and we may need to
consider for settlement of soil while designing our foundation and laying our drainage pipes

(b) Technical Design:

Our project constitutes of four major components:
• Multipurpose Indoor Complex
• Swimming Pool Complex
• Outdoor playground space with gallery
• Parking Facility
