The client's ambition was to create a world class athletics centre with a low carbon footprint. That’s a challenge for a 9700m2 space with varied occupancy levels through the days, weeks and seasons ranging from few to many people, and people who need really good conditions to train in.

The building meets the aims of the client. To date the building has earned A rating Display Energy Certification. It’s low energy with a small carbon footprint and that’s a remarkable achievement for a sports facility as big as this.
