mags gymnasium

Overlooking the main sports fields and backing on to the neighbouring aquatic centre, the Mount Albert Grammar School Gymnasium provides state of the art sporting facilities for use by the school and local sports teams.

Built on an extremely limited budget, the facility prioritises an international quality sprung floor system. Two large light scoops draw natural light into the space, controlled by louvres to moderate temperature throughout.

Acoustic plywood panels are utilised to significantly reduce noise throughout the gymnasium. Bleachers within the main gymnasium accommodate up to 600 people. The facility as a whole provides 12 changing rooms for students.
