Via the stairs or lift, you reach a dirty corridor that leads to the changing rooms with washrooms, as well as to the building services rooms and adjoining rooms. One of the three changing room units, which each have two cubicles, is reserved for wheel-chair users and equipped with a suitable shower. A washroom and a wheelchair-accessible WC, which is also designed for general use by pupils or athletes during training, complete the facilities. Athletes reach the sports hall from the changing rooms via the clean corridor. Looking ahead, Gernot concludes by highlighting his belief that sustainability will come even further into the fore as firms seeks to enhance the landscape with their architecture/ “Fundamentally, we believe that the renovation and conversion of existing buildings is important. The future of architecture is to provide spaces that are sustainable and timeless, and we are excited to be part of this legacy.”
