Sports Centre Papendrecht
The council chose Pellikaan’s plan for this new sports complex because it best addressed the demands for facility mix and sustainability. The outdoor pool complex has a toddler’s pool, water play ground and leisure pool with slides as well as a competition pool with a separate diving part. These pools are surrounded by a large green relaxing area ans sports field. The indoor swimming pools have a competition pool, learner’s pool and toddler’s pool.
The double sports hall can be divided in six parts, has spectator seating as well as a viewing gallery and is suitable to host large events. All functionalities are accessible from a large entrance area. Centrally in the building is a large café-restaurant with direct access to the spectator seating. A car park as well as an underground bicycle parking are part of the package.

Some features are triple insulation, heat recovery from air and water, low-energy lighting, self-closing water taps, waste water treatmnent system, pool filters with a reduced resistance and a solar boiler.
