The new school and club sports hall is located to the north of the Glemsaue school center in Ditzingen.
The building can basically be described in two sections. An L-shaped solid reinforced concrete structure consisting of a first floor and a basement.
The changing rooms and sanitary facilities are located on the first floor.
The basement contains equipment rooms, building services and some ancillary rooms. The sports field, which is accessed from the basement, is located next to the concrete wing.
The load-bearing structure is formed by the flat ceilings of the two levels, which rest on columns and walls. The walls on the ground floor are also used as wall-like beams for the ceiling of the basement.
The roof over the sports field is supported by fish-bellied, haunched glulam trusses, which are spanned by a perforated trapezoidal sheet. On the east and north façades, the hall roof is supported by continuous glulam edge beams standing on regularly arranged steel supports.
The exterior basement walls in the sports hall area are clamped into the floor slab as they have no support at the top.
The building is founded flat on an elastically bedded floor slab. Due to the hydrological conditions here, micropiles were installed in the area of the sports field as permanent anchors for buoyancy protection and the basement was constructed using the watertight construction method. The building is located in earthquake zone 0.
