2.3 COURT CONFIGURATIONS<br />

Multi-purpose<br />

<strong>Sport</strong> Halls<br />

To determine the overall size of the multi-purpose sports hall the various court confi gurations, indicated<br />

in badminton court modules are as follows:<br />

2.3.1 Single Courts<br />

The minimum hall area for a single badminton court is 17.4 metre long, 9.1 metre wide <strong>and</strong> has a clear<br />

ceiling height of 7.6 metre.<br />

Apart from badminton it would be possible to house one table tennis table <strong>and</strong> two fencing piste. Halls<br />

of this particular size are thus not recommended since they have limited multi-purpose potential.<br />

2.3.2 Two-Court Halls<br />

The minimum size for a two-court sports hall is 18 metre long, 17 metre wide <strong>and</strong> has a clear ceiling<br />

height of 7.6 metre.<br />

Apart from the two badminton courts, it would be possible to house four table tennis tables, three<br />

trampolines, one judo fl oor, one gymnastics fl oor <strong>and</strong> three fencing piste.<br />

A careful assessment of the sports types has to be made before halls of this particular confi guration are<br />

recommended for construction.<br />

2.3.3 Three-Court Halls<br />

The minimum size for a three-court sports hall is 27 metre long, 18 metre wide <strong>and</strong> has a clear ceiling<br />

height of 8.0 metre.<br />

Apart from the three badminton courts, it would be possible to house fi ve table tennis tables, six<br />

trampolines, two judo fl oors, two gymnastics fl oors, three fencing pistes <strong>and</strong> one volleyball court.<br />

Due to the fact that a four court hall requires only a marginal increase in overall dimensions, it is<br />

recommended that, unless restrictive site conditions exist, a four court hall is constructed in lieu of a<br />

three court hall.<br />

2.3.4 Four-Court Halls<br />

The minimum size for a four-court sports hall is 33 metre long, 18 metre wide <strong>and</strong> has a clear ceiling<br />

height of 8.0 metre. The hall covers an overall area 594 square metre.<br />

In a four-court hall it would be possible to house the following courts:<br />

• Four badminton courts<br />

• One basketball court<br />

• Four cricket nets<br />

• Two gymnastic fl oors<br />

• One indoor hockey pitch<br />

• Two judo fl oors<br />

• Six trampolines<br />

• Four table tennis tables<br />

• One volleyball court<br />
