Sportforum In de Roos
Roosendaal (NL), 2012
Information
The In de Roos sports hall in the southeast quarter of Roosendaal, along the A58, is intended to provide the sports facilities for the college pupils of the Jan Tinbergen College, as well as to serve as a supralocal sports facility for the city.
The building is connected to the college by means of a pedestrian bridge. This creates an access point for college use on the upper floor in addition to the main entrance on the ground floor, and allows for optimal use of the facility by different groups simultaneously.
A modest choice of materials, steel, wall cladding and glass, was applied and detailed in such a way as to give the sports hall an allure that far outstrips its function. The result is an open and inviting building. The display of sports by large windows and interior sightlines between different functions stimulates people to practice sports and participate.
