Sportzaal American School of The Hague | Paul de Ruiter

To create visual continuity between the old and the new, we revamped the gymnasium’s existing walls. We replaced the old fixtures with new ones capable of serving the large audiences that attend the school’s international events and parties. We integrated these fixtures into the Frenger ceiling: for the control of data, music, lighting (dedicated per court) and the fire safety system. The three courts are separable by soundproof walls, allowing simultaneous physical education classes to be given in each without distraction from the others. Thanks to this new approach to fixture installation, the gymnasium meets all the standards expected of venues built for sports and other events.

Not only is the gymnasium now the beating heart of the ASH community, but it has also become the American School of The Hague’s new calling card.
