The building, intended to replace the existing equipment, is aimed not only at students of the Maxime Alexandre middle school, but also at sports associations in Lingolsheim, and in particular the badmington association.

The design of the gymnasium aims at reaching a simple, rational and pure form. A rectangular volume is placed at the end of the plot, on the southern limit, and at little distance from the cycle path.

If a first reading of the project reveals above all its massive writing, the aspects of the ground floor (hall and common space), the first floor (stands, meeting room and multipurpose room) and the second floor (indoor archery range/ table tennis room) introduces a different language, related to porosity and transparency.

Sports practice is thus staged to the scale of the city, in particular through the bottom angle view from the Rue du Travail, to the scale of the train by the window placed high-up for the indoor archery range, or via frontal and longitudinal contact with the cycle path on the south of the site.

Large openings punctuate the overall shape, lighten the volume and offer a strong and identifiable character to the Maxime Alexandre gymnasium.

The structure and envelope of thermal concrete walls characterize the interior and exterior of the building and give it performance, strength and durability.

Material Used :
1. Envelope : structural by using prefabricated and insulated double concrete walls
2. Association of metal frames on the sportshall
3. Sporty parquet on solid oak joists
