Cambridge University’s sports centre is located in west Cambridge, where the University is developing what is effectively a new campus of faculty and laboratory buildings. The building is at the edge of the new campus, close to open countryside. Its shape responds to that context: its contoured form mediating between the wider formal masterplan and the nearby open countryside. Designed to house a variety of sports and activities, the building had an extremely short construction period, which Arup Associates met by developing a kit of parts approach to the structure of the building. The use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) integrated across all disciplines meant that the structural steel, architectural feel and the crafting of the detailing could be optimised early in the design and continued throughout the contractor’s detailing phase.

剑桥大学体育中心坐落在剑桥大学的西部，那里是剑桥正在开发的新校区，有很多实验建筑和新的教学楼。体育中心在新校区的边缘，另一侧就是自然的郊野。体育中心的造型呼应了功能：波浪的形式协调了宽阔的校园和接壤的郊野。要设计一个可容纳各种体育运动和活动的体育中心，且施工周期极为短暂，所幸Arup Associates采用逐步实验的方法来设计大楼结构，使承包商更准确地进行建设，并使各个零件都保持完全匹配和衔接。
