The Youth Sports Field House for the City of Pompano Beach is part of the transformation of a 10-acre Elk's Lodge site along Northeast 10th Street into a new park facility with soccer, football and lacrosse fields and the field house for youths. It contains concessions, offices, storage, and restroom facilities. The new Youth Sports Field House will serve kids and families while accommodating small and large-scale sports events and tournaments with up to a 1000 people.
A wrap around porch provides respite from sun and inclement weather. Under the porch are high-velocity fans provide cooling stations for athletes and spectators alike. A concession area and office space provide clear views of the fields and parking areas to create a safe and attractive event space. The design is made of highly durable and cost-efficient materials. The roof is sloped in a way to make a spectacle of rainfall from the scupper. The rain cascades from the roof into a rain garden where the water is infiltrated back into the aquifer. Low impact landscape design is integrated with omni-directional structure to reduce irrigation while creating a resilient and sustainable design.
