Unbenanntes Dokument 

This multi- purpose hall in a newly  developed part of the 
municipality of Wiener Neustadt is the core of a future 
event & sports centre. 
The major sporting and non- sporting events which have 
been held so far have already documented the planned 
suitability for large exhibition events.
Access from outside, both on the hall level and to the 
ambulatory, from which the spectators seats are reached, 
reflects the hall´s multi functional design. The idea of 
providing seats merely between the playing area and the 
ambulatory for normal events and using temporary stands 
in the ambulatory to provide extra seating permits 
supplementary sporting use of the ambulatory and an 
enlargement of the overall area available for non- sporting 
events. This impressed the jury.
   

The hall´s spatial impression is commensurate with its 
varied users. With mobile installations (temporary stands, 
various floor surfaces, suspended ceilings) the hall can 
quickly be adapted to the requirements of a wide range 
of events.
The size and arrangement of the service rooms are well 
geared to their possible uses. The suitability of the 
access ramps for wheelchair users is queried by the jury.
   

Maximum multipurpose use is guaranteed by the 
telescopic stands, which permit accommodation for between 
zero and 6,500 specators.
The asphalt subfloor allows the uncomplicated staging 
of fairs and exhibitons. A mobile stage, artistes´ dressing 
rooms, press rooms, etc. are available for cultural events 
and concerts. A sprung timber floor can be laid swiftly over 
the asphalt for sporting activities.
The maximum size of the playing field is 44m x 66m, 
with a throwing height clearance of at least 10 m. 
A range of dividing curtains and walls can partion the hall 
into smaller units, allowing school sports, handball, tennis, 
basketball and volleyball both on three training courts and 
also as an center court configuration. Indoor football and 
ice hockey (with a supplementally installed refrigeration 
facility) can also be played on a 30m x 60m field.
The hall is particularly suitable for floor gymnastics, 
ball sports and dancing, and it is also possible to use it for 
horse shows or beach sport events, go- kart tournaments 
or free climbing competitions.
   

Access to the hall´s upper spectator floor is provided via 
a total of 12 outside ramps and stairs. The large number 
and the width of the entrances ensure smooth and safe 
movement. The stands are entered from the inner 
ambulatory on the upper floor. The roof is supported by a 
barrel- shaped three- dimensional timber framework with 
a maximum span of 62 m. Two rows of 13 sloping 
concrete pillars carry the roof loads each along the long 
sides. Aluminium was selected  as material for covering 
the arched roof and the side walls, giving the hall a modern 
exterior. Adequate natural light falls into the interior through 
daylight openings and six ridges in the sawtooth roof.
District- heating hot air radiators have been installed as a 
flexibly adjustabe heating system. Heat recuperation features 
allow low energy costs.
