Unique 360°view of the "Ruska" sports hall at National Sports Centre Papendal - Neptunus Structures

The National Sports Centre Papendal is headquarters of the Netherland’s national sports development organisation and is the training location for numerous top level sports. In 2016 the centre launched a full-time training programme for athletes of the Dutch Judo Association to meet the increasing popularity of this fast-growing activity. Neptunus was tasked with creating a new bespoke sports hall primarily as a facility to accommodate Judo but also with the ability to be used for other sports. It also needed to have the appearance of a permanent building while being totally flexible and sustainable. The Solution Neptunus built a state-of-the-art judo facility created within one of the company’s Flexolution demountable building systems. The ultra-modern sports hall which opened in March 2017 looks and feels like a permanent building but took Neptunus’ technicians just 12 weeks to build and fully fit-out. The new hall, named the Ruskahal after Holland’s two-time Olympic Judo Champion Willem ‘Wim’ Ruska, stands three stories tall and covers more than 1,150 square metres. It incorporates a Dojo (a formal training place for martial arts), a grandstand, offices, medical and changing rooms, showers and toilets. In total the new building offers over 2,500 square metres of space for athletes and their support teams.
