Completion of the Temporary Sports Hall Gloriarank
On 26 April 2023, the new wooden construction conceived by IB Basel was officially inaugurated
The element construction made of larch wood is a temporary, deconstructable, and reusable sports hall that was erected over a one-year period.
IB Basel and Hector Egger Gesamtdienstleistungs AG won a two-stage selective competition for all required services held by the Canton of Zurich, at the end of 2020.
The temporary sports hall Gloriarank serves as a replacement for four sports halls of the University of Zurich, which had to make way for the "Forum UZH". It will be used by the secondary schools and the ASVZ (Academic Sports Clus Zurich) during the construction period.
In addition to the design requirements, the multi-layered volumetry and detailed façade design of the larch wood building follows strictly functional, economic, topographical and energy-efficient (Minergie P ECO) criteria.
The new building is conceived as a circular contribution to the transformation process of the Zürich University campus.
