Sports centers and schools often need indoor venues that are safe, spacious, durable, and suitable for daily operation. A custom membrane structure gymnasium provides an effective solution for these needs. It can cover football fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, badminton courts, and multi-purpose activity spaces.
Compared with traditional construction methods, a membrane structure gymnasium offers more flexibility in design, faster project delivery, and strong adaptability to different site conditions.

The client wanted to build an indoor sports venue that could be used throughout the year. The structure needed to provide weather protection, stable indoor conditions, sufficient lighting, and enough space for sports activities.
The project also required flexible entrances, emergency exits, ventilation, lighting, and equipment systems. Since the gymnasium would be used frequently, safety and long-term maintenance were also important concerns.
Based on the site conditions and sports function requirements, an air-supported membrane structure solution was proposed. The design included a high-strength PVDF membrane system, reinforced steel cables, intelligent air pressure control, fresh air ventilation, lighting, emergency doors, and access channels.
The large-span dome design made the interior space open and flexible. This allowed the gymnasium to support different sports activities and event layouts.
The exterior appearance could also be customized with different colors, patterns, and logo designs, helping the venue create a professional and recognizable brand image.
The membrane structure gymnasium provides strong functional value for sports center operators.
It protects users from rain, snow, wind, and extreme sunlight. It creates a stable indoor environment for training and events. It reduces the impact of seasonal weather on venue operation.
It also allows the space to be used for multiple purposes, including sports training, competitions, school activities, exhibitions, and community events.
A complete air-supported gymnasium includes more than the membrane body. Supporting systems are essential for safety and comfort.
The system can include:
① Air pressure control system
② Fresh air ventilation system
③ Indoor lighting system
④ Air conditioning system
⑤ Emergency backup power system
⑥ Personnel entrance system
⑦ Freight channel
⑧ Emergency door
⑨ Steel cable reinforcement
⑩ Intelligent control system
These systems can be selected according to the client’s budget, climate, and operation requirements.
