The forced cancellation of sports classes during rainy days, the long-term lack of sports spaces, the long construction period, and the high cost of traditional gymnasiums are real problems that have constrained the development of school sports for a long time. These issues are now being gradually resolved by a creative structural. As a new type of school sports facility based on air-supported structural technology, the School Air Dome Gymnasium is becoming a priority choice for more and more schools seeking to upgrade their sports spaces.
Unlike traditional reinforced concrete sports stadiums, which require years to construct, the School Air Dome Gymnasium adopts a construction mode that combines factory prefabrication with rapid on-site installation. After the early-stage preparation is completed, the entire installation can be finished in just a few days by unfolding the membrane structure on site and completing the inflation. By carrying out construction during winter and summer vacations, it can be put into use at the beginning of school terms and effectively relieve the pressure on the use of school sports spaces.
In terms of construction and operating costs, the total cost of a School Air Dome Gymnasium is usually only about half that of traditional gymnasiums, or even less. Its lightweight air-supported structure significantly reduces investment in foundations and land construction, while also offering excellent energy-saving and environmental protection performance. In addition, the double-layer membrane structure provides stable thermal insulation. Combined with an intelligent control system for fresh air and constant temperature, it can effectively reduce long-term energy consumption. The membrane surface is coated with PVDF, which offers good self-cleaning performance, is easy to maintain on a daily basis, and helps reduce the overall operating and maintenance costs for schools.
As an enclosed sports space that is effectively isolated from the external environment, the School Air Dome Gymnasium can achieve stable control of temperature, humidity, and air quality. Whether in hot summers, cold winters, or under adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, the Air Dome Gymnasium can always maintain a comfortable and safe indoor sports environment and provide reliable support for daily sports teaching, training, and activities. On the exterior of the membrane structure, a high-strength steel cable system is installed, enabling the entire structure to maintain good stability and safety under complex weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy snow.
In terms of space utilization, the School Air Dome Gymnasium adopts a large-span design, with a maximum span of over 100 meters, and without any pillars or columns inside. This design maximizes the usable interior space and meets the requirements for training and teaching of multiple sports such as basketball, badminton, volleyball, and tennis. Meanwhile, the School Air Dome Gymnasium also offers excellent functional flexibility and can be quickly transformed into a sports venue, performance space, parents’ meeting hall, or other areas for group activities, truly realizing the multifunctional use of the stadium.
By relying on a mature air dome technology system, the School Air Dome Gymnasium provides a more efficient, economical, stable, and flexible solution for the construction of school sports facilities. With the continuous application of air-supported structures in the education sector, a new model of school sports space with greater sustainability and practical value is gradually taking shape.
