Move­ment

So the ques­tion is not whether local autho­ri­ties, clubs etc. can afford a sports hall. The ques­tion is whether they can afford not to have one. An open-air hall brings move­ment into commu­nity life – quickly, easily and sustain­ably.

A McArena costs only a frac­tion of a tradi­tional sports hall. Depen­ding on the size, invest­ments start at less than 400,000 euros. This opens up comple­tely new possi­bi­li­ties for smaller towns, rural regions, city districts or social insti­tu­tions that want to create a high-quality, weather­proof and low-main­ten­ance sports faci­lity on a limited budget.

Each of these halls is a fully-fledged, covered sports hall with a sports floor, peri­meter board system, LED flood­lights, digital access system and optional music and equip­ment box. The high­light lies in the flexi­bi­lity: diffe­rent sizes and types allow adapt­a­tion to almost any area and use – be it in the school play­ground, as an addi­tion to the club grounds or as an exer­cise-promo­ting meeting point in the neigh­bor­hood.

Sustaina­bi­lity

Anyone plan­ning a sports hall today is also thin­king about future gene­ra­tions of users, future energy consump­tion and the ecolo­gical foot­print of each indi­vi­dual compo­nent.

Local autho­ri­ties, clubs and spon­sors are under immense pres­sure today: rising energy costs, incre­asing climate protec­tion requi­re­ments, tight budgets and the desire not to build new infra­struc­ture at the expense of the envi­ron­ment. Tradi­tional gyms with their massive cons­truc­tion, complex tech­no­logy and high energy requi­re­ments seem like relics from another era.

In contrast, open-air halls made of galva­nized steel with a recy­cled content of over 87% are sustainable. This cons­truc­tion method not only reduces CO₂ in produc­tion, but also in trans­por­ta­tion and foun­da­tions. It allows for shorter cons­truc­tion times, less impact on the envi­ron­ment and maximum flexi­bi­lity.

From stock

The heart of every McArena is its intel­li­gent opera­tion: digital control, light only when in use, auto­matic access systems and an AI-supported camera system for effi­ci­ency moni­to­ring. There are also optional photo­vol­taic modules, rain­water harve­s­ting cisterns and green roofs. These are all modules that make the halls CO₂-neutral step by step.

But sustaina­bi­lity means more than just tech­no­logy. It is an atti­tude. A hall that is used jointly – by schools, clubs, leisure groups and events – saves dupli­cate invest­ments, reduces distances, promotes social inte­gra­tion and revi­ta­lizes entire neigh­bour­hoods.

And it lasts. Because steel is not only recy­clable, but also extre­mely durable. The halls are desi­gned to last for decades, with minimal main­ten­ance requi­re­ments and clearly calculable opera­ting costs. The result is a space for move­ment that really lasts.
