Entry Description


The new Zaanstad-Zuid sports centre building has been
built in the Poelenburg district next to the street De Weer.
The urban development between the green area on De
Weer street and the water alongside the M.L. Kingweg
alternates between enclosed blocks of houses and
businesses and a more open arrangement of school
buildings and a religious centre. The sports centre has
been built within the same building block as the adjacent
colleges, Pascal-Zuid and De Faam. As a result, both
buildings share the same playground.
During the day, the sports hall is used by these schools
and it is subdivided into three areas. The students use the
day entrance which opens directly into the playground. In
the evenings and at the weekends the sports hall is used
by sports associations and neighbourhood groups who
make use of the cafeteria area, the conference room.
