Professional Sports Facility & Indoor Training Building Projects

Paignton Community and Sports College, Torbay, Devon, UK Sports & Recreation Project

The 42m x 69m BVE sports building, with 7.4m sidewalls, can cater for a wide variety of sports including badminton, netball, basketball, tennis, football, trampolining and hockey. It can be converted to accommodate 12 badminton courts, eight basketball courts, three five-a-side pitches, eight volleyball courts or four tennis courts. The layout is interchangeable.

Special features include steel clad sidewalls for added security, sidewall gutters for surface water drainage, a ventilation system which provides three-and-a-half air changes per hour, and in a first for the company, an internal lift shaft accessible via a bridge from the car park.

The translucent roof provides a natural light and airy atmosphere and the sports hall also boasts Rubb's signature hot dip galvanised steel frame and PVDF coated fabric membrane.

Kristiansand Kommune Kristiansand, Norway Sports & Recreation Project

Rubb has supplied a building to Kristiansand council in Norway to cover a public swimming pool. The building is supplied with the patented Rubb Thermohall insulation system. The Rubb Building is rented out for 2.5 years as a permanent indoor swimming pool will not be ready for use before then. The international engineering consultancy company, Rambøll were responsible for the engineering for this project.

Sportsplex Management Group LLC York, Maine Sports Project

The Structure had previously been used as a coffee store in Boston and was relocated to York, then lengthened and is now a first class sports facility complete with turfed playing area.

Acton-Agua Dulce Unified Acton, California Recreation Project

A small charter school in the high desert northwest of Los Angeles, California needed a gym and had little capital with which to fund the project. Rubb was able to put together a turnkey proposal that covered the facility costs, lighting, ventilation, sports equipment, flooring and installation; and all of which was funded by a municipal lease.

As with any school type construction the facility had to meet both local and state codes without exception. The building, (a 100' x 116.67' BVE Range w/16.4' Sidewalls) also had to take the day to day abuse of over 300 teenagers. Rubb designed and manufactured a hybrid facility with a high quality PVC coated polyester membrane roof, our standard hot dip galvanized steel frame and insulated double sided steel panel walls. The insulated double sided steel panels provide a damage resistance barrier around the perimeter of the facility to 11' from the base.

Rubb was able to reduce the cost of installing basketball hoops and netting as both systems were designed to be supported from the main steel frame. Rubb works directly with heating and lighting companies, saving money on the systems and their installation by designing the steel frame to support the systems directly.

Gorham Sports Center Gorham, Maine Recreation Project

Rubb recently completed its third indoor sports facility in southern Maine. Located in Gorham, the 185' clear span by 267' long structure was originally planned to be an air supported structure. However, after various issues arose with local planning and authorities as well as the Fire Marshall, it was determined that Rubb offered the best solution to meet the customer's and town's requirements.
