Designed by Kang Chul-Hee and Idea Image Institute of Architects, the Health & Sports Education Center attracts local residents’ participation and heightens its value as a community sports center. Located on the eastern part of Kang-won University’s Choon-Chun Campus, it is somewhat secluded from its surroundings. So in order to adapt to the steep landscapem, the center’s swimming pool and education facility are designed with multi-level entrances, emphasizing a diverse entryway and an adventurous space. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Entering through multi-level entrances, the underground level houses daily sports programs for faculty, students and local residents while the ground level houses education facilities and classrooms. Main facilities, such as the swimming pool, gym, and exhibition hall are located on the second level, which can be accessed from the front plaza. Professor’s offices are on the third and fourth levels which are designed to face southeast considering their usage.
