Lake Ainsworth Recreation Hall

The Lake Ainsworth Recreation Hall is a multi-purpose recreation hall, used for basketball, netball, badminton and other sports, as well as meetings, films and theatrical performances that is located at Lennox Head, in Northern New South Wales, Australia. The building was designed in 2005 by architectural firm Allen Jack+Cottier, for which they received one of the two "Public Buildings Commendations" in 2007 from Architecture Australia.

Material

Danpalon, a high tech polycarbon, was used for the walls and roofing panels, which allows for daylight infiltration. In addition, the solar transmission grade was to vary and suit the building's orientation. Less heat is transferred into the building and artificial lighting is not required at all during the day.
The floor system uses concrete slabs with sprung timber floor for basketball, netball, volleyball, and wall-climbing.
