New Sports Hall at DSMS

After the plans for a new sports hall were confirmed in March work quickly began erecting a huge sports hall on the old MUGA. The 33 acre back field now sits in the shadow of the gigantic, white, modern sports hall which will open officially in early 2014.

Last week, The Wyvern got an exclusive first peek at the new sports hall and the stuff which will be inside. As expected there will be male and female changing rooms, offices for the PE teachers and a huge hall which can be used for most sports. The sports hall also has two storage spaces for equipment (one accessible from the inside, the other from the outside) and a viewing gallery from where spectators can watch activities and games from.

You may be surprised to know that the sports hall is completely unique, the design and materials it is made from make it stand out from any other sports hall in the county! The roof is especially unusual as it is made from a material which allows sunlight to get through which will save energy.

Other interesting technology which the Wyvern discovered was looking over the sports hall from the south wall. It was an electric score board which can be controlled remotely which will be used for keeping the score in competitive sports.
