Sports Authority of India envisioned renovation, upgradation of
facilities at Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports, Patiala, India. To
suffice this, some new blocks were designed and added to the campus with a
total site area of 240 acres, in addition to upgradation works of the existing
blocks. The overall works (upgradation and new block) were distributed over a
built-up area of 5110sq.m.
Some of the existing blocks that have been redesigned and
revitalized with new concepts, latest finishes, and modern technologies are:
u Lecture hall in the existing sports science building
u Existing Silver jubilee hostel for men
u auditorium at the existing gymnasium complex
u Multipurpose/yoga hall at the existing library building
In addition to the upgradation works, to meet the demands of the
fast-growing sports fraternity, a new block has been designed and added on the
same site to render strength and conditioning support to the athletes. The
National Center of Sports Coaching houses an indoor running track on the
periphery of the strength and conditioning hall on the ground floor. The first
floor of this new block is dedicated to Fencing with 21 Piste out of which 1
piste is dedicated to tournaments with retractable bleachers for spectators.
The ancillary facilities like coaches’ rooms, coaching classes, changing rooms,
etc are distributed on both floors to cater to each activity’s
requirements.
