School sports are becoming an increasingly vital pillar of preventive health care for children and teenagers. The Rudolf Steiner School in Munich-Daglfing has built a second gym for its growing number of pupils. The floor and walls are both from HARO Sports.

As many as 660 pupils now attend the Rudolf Steiner School in Munich-Daglfing. As sports are also an essential element in the learning concept of the Rudolf Steiner schools, the school management decided to expand the existing hall by building a new hall to accommodate the ever increasing number of pupils.

In addition to intensive use for sports lessons, the new hall is regularly rented out to sports clubs from the region in the evenings and at weekends. The dimensions are ideal for classic team sports using balls, such as handball, volleyball and basketball. In the winter, indoor football is played at certain training times, too. The most striking feature of the hall is the bouldering wall on one of the front sides, which is used enthusiastically by clubs and for school sports.

HARO Sports Floor Berlin and HARO Protective Wall Light 19

Tried and tested many times over and in use worldwide: 360 square metres of HARO Sports Floor Berlin were installed in the new hall. The sports parquet was installed on a double-swing beam system using a proven installation method, which ensures pleasant swinging of the floor. The floor therefore absorbs any kind of impact, yet will remain stable and resilient for years to come.

For the walls, the architects chose HARO Protective Walls Light 19, which absorb up to sixty per cent of the impact force, significantly increasing safety.

Around 260 square metres of wall space were equipped in this way – around half of it in the acoustically effective 'whisper quality', in which the acoustic perforation effectively dissipates sound. This means that the new school gym is perfectly equipped for a wide variety of sports, including competitive sports.
