Introduction

This Guidance Note concentrates on pavilionsthat are free-standing and designed primarilyfor cricket, football, hockey and rugby. Therecommendations also apply to pavilions forsports such as bowls, tennis and athletics,and to outdoor changing facilities that formpar t of a spor ts centre. The standardsoutlined can also be applied to the upgradingof existing accommodation.

Buildings of this type require considerable skillin their design and specification if they are tobe successful. Skilful planning can eliminateunnecessary circulation space and increasethe flexibility of the primary spaces. Attention todetail in design and specification can increaseuser satisfaction as well as simplifying cleaningand reducing maintenance.

It is far better to design a smaller building of theright quality, with room for later extension, thana larger building of poor initial quality.

Site planning

Location

The shape and contours of the available sitewill obviously influence the location of apavilion. However, in most instances, theproximity of an existing access road and/or thenecessary main services, will be of primeimportance if unnecessary and expensive sitedevelopment costs are to be avoided.

It is essential that the site should provide:

� sufficient space for the proposed pavilionas well as space for future expansion

� adequate car parking provision, includingthe potential for overspill parking

� access for service and emergency vehicles

� a reasonable relationship with the sportsspaces it will serve.

Orientation

Ideally any entrances to the pavilion should beoriented away from the direction of the prevailingwind. However, to permit comfortable viewing ofthe cricket square and/or principal pitch fromthe pavilion, the building should not face thesetting sun.

Club room glazing provided for viewing pitchesor a cricket square must be carefully specifiedand detailed to combat glare; roof overhangs orscreening may be required. Consider carefullythe use of safety glazing.

Pavilion planning

Careful planning of the accommodation isessential to ensure a successful scheme andspecial consideration should be given to thefollowing points:

� Include an entrance lobby for even thesmallest pavilion; never enter directly into acorridor.

� Separation of changing and wet andmuddy areas from any social or indoorsports accommodation.

� Provide planning flexibility to respond todifferent levels of male/female use.

� Plan for simple, straightforward circulationroutes.

� Corridors should be at least 1.5m wideexcept in the smallest two-changing unitpavilion. Where lockers line one wall of aspine corridor, 2.7m is required betweenwall faces.

� Ensure access for disabled users; includea lift to upper-level social or clubaccommodation. This subject is covered indetail in a separate Guidance Note.

� Plan for convenient access to pitches andsatisfactory viewing of the principal playingareas.

� Never plan grass pitch changing roomswith stair access at first floor level.

Accommodation

The scale and type of the changing accommo-dation depends upon the number and type ofpitches served, as well as the different sportsthat will use the pavilion.

The general accommodation should include:

� changing rooms� showers and dry-off areas� toilets� separate officials’ accommodation� meeting/social area� cleaner’s cupboard or store� entrance lobby� electrical meter/intake cupboard� disabled toilets/changing.

The accommodation may be expanded toinclude:

� club/committee room� kitchen� office� weights or fitness equipment room� exercise studio� physio treatment and first aid room� bar and lounge� dining area� other social and sports accommodation� cricket score box� grounds maintenance store� boiler or plant room� caretaker’s flat.

Provision of these additional sports and socialelements should depend upon their potential toattract increased use of the facility.

Changing rooms

Changing facilities can be provided either as individual team changing rooms, largecommunal changing areas or a combination of both, where it is necessary to have flexibilityof provision.

Individual team changing rooms are preferred.They provide for pre-match talks and deterdisagreements on the field from continuingafter a match. Some multi-pitch locations, forexample on higher and further education sites,can justify the more economical communalchanging approach.

Key points are:

� Layouts must provide flexibility for differentproportions of male/female use.

� The changing accommodation should bebig enough to accommodate the largestnumber of players likely to use the room,including substitutes, coaches and, whereapplicable, the physiotherapist.

� Different sports have different spacerequirements for players, substitutes andtheir equipment.

� Generally the minimum area is calculated at1m2 per person. However, cricket requires1.2m2 minimum for players carrying kitbags, but kit boxes will justify more space.

� Changing area sizes for all-weather or full-size artificial turf pitches must becalculated and arranged to respond tohigh-intensity use. Full-size pitches can besubdivided into three or four play areas,each for 10 or 12 players.

� Each player needs 500mm bench length ata depth of 450mm. Note that two placesare lost when benching is carried aroundan internal corner.

� All changing areas need to be fitted withsight screens to deny views in.

� Home or first team rooms may exceedthese sizes and will then be suitable for twojunior teams. If clothes storage lockers areincluded with changing, the recommendedareas must be increased to accommodatethe space taken up by the lockers.

Minimum recommended areas for teams for the principal sports are:

Association football 16m2

Cricket 15m2

Hockey 16m2

Rugby – league and union 20m2

For tennis allow two changing spaces per court.For bowls at least 8+8 spaces and anofficials’ room.

Showers

Each changing unit requires its own showerslocated as far as possible from changingentrances and WCs to minimise water migrationand to separate mud and moisture.

� Allow one shower point to every three orfour changing spaces. Ideally, plan for onesquare metre for the shower area and thesame for the drying area. To accommodatewheelchair access avoid raised thresholds.

� Shower outlets should be at 750mmintervals with 450-500mm between endfittings and side walls. Fittings carriedaround an internal corner should maintainthese minimum standards.

� Showers on opposing walls should bespaced 2.5m apart to permit a centralcirculation route and will require a separatedry-off area to one end.

Toilets

Each team changing unit should be providedwith access to toilet facilities as follows:

� Men’s facilities: one WC, two urinals andtwo washbasins.

� Women’s facilities: two WCs and twowashbasins.

Small pavilions

Small pavilions will benefit from having thetoilets accessible from a lobby or corridor sothat they can be reached from both changingand club rooms.

Larger pavilions (with four or more teamchanging units)

Larger pavilions need a minimum of one WCand one washbasin en suite within each teamchanging unit, with the balance made upcentrally. This arrangement provides conven-ience with flexibility and economy. Alternativelyarrange the full quota of fittings within eachchanging area.

Where units with full en suite provision are to beallocated for either men or women, fit two WCsand two washbasins.

Communal changing

Communal changing units are a practicalsolution for large, multiple-pitch sites, particularlywhen an athletics track, multi-use games area,tennis or basketball courts are included andwhere a more flexible form of operation isrequired. Their design follows the sameprinciples as for individual changing units.However, the following additional points shouldbe considered:

� Bench space should remain at 500mm perperson but the overall area can often bereduced as a result of more efficient spaceplanning and concentrated toilet provision.

� Communal changing units can becombined with single team units andplanned on the buffer principle, withintercommunicating doors providing flexibleallocation of space when required.

Clothes storage lockers

These can be arranged in central banks oralong changing room walls. Corridor locationgives maximum flexibility and can be overseenfrom an office or reception counter.

� Provide a minimum clearance of 1.5m infront of the lockers so that open lockerdoors do not obstruct circulation.

� Allow two or three lockers per bench spaceaccording to the number of changingcycles, staggered kick-off times or numberof athletes at a competition.

� Minimum locker size is 900mm high,300mm wide and 450mm deep.

� Lockers must be of robust construction.

� Raise clothes storage lockers on a 150mmplinth to protect from corrosion.

� Lockers located in changing areas must beof a moisture-resistant construction.

Toilets

In communal areas the provision of toiletfacilities should be based on the followingminimum requirements:

� Men: one WC, two urinals and twowashbasins per 20 changing spaces.

� Women: two WCs and two washbasins per20 changing spaces.

Showers

Showers should be at the far end of anychanging area and never accessed directlyfrom main corridors.

Avoid any cross-over between people coming infrom playing fields and those moving betweenthe changing areas and showers.

11

Officials’ changing

The pavilion should include a self-containedchanging room for use by officials. This roomcan double up as a first aid room or treatmentroom on non-match days.

� For one pitch or up to three officials,provide a room of 5m2 with a shower,washbasin and bench space.

� Secure locker storage is required when theroom is used by more than one official.

� Where the room doubles as a first aidroom, an area of 7-8m2 is required. Allow

for lockers and a secure medical suppliescabinet.

� In rooms for five or more officials, include aWC. If officials of both sexes use thepavilion at the same time, provide separateaccommodation.

Cleaner’s store

A lockable cupboard for cleaning materials isthe minimum provision required.

For multi-team pavilions, provide a store withshelving and a bucket sink adjacent to changingrooms.

12

Club room

The club room should have large windows forviewing the principal activity. Consider the rangeof potential uses that the club room couldaccommodate.

Large club rooms can accommodate:

� Fitness activities and table tennis, if there isa minimum clear space of 8 x 4 x 3m high

� Indoor bowls. Short mat bowls requires aspace of 15 x 2.6m including side margins.Carpet bowls can be played within a spaceof 10.5-11 x 2.6m.

Provide a store for furniture, so that part of thefloor can be cleared for dancing, and allowspace for any sports equipment such as foldedtable tennis tables or rolled bowls carpets.

Example of a large pavilion plan with clear segregation of social and changing areas.

Plan for later extension. A properly organised plancan be extended one way for extra changing and theother for more social accommodation. Rigid cross-wall construction can support a first floor addition.

Building exterior

A vandal-resistant design is invariably required,with limited openings and careful detailing. Thedegree of protection will be determined bylocation and the need to design in keeping withthe surroundings.

� Pitched roofs are less vulnerable to illicitaccess. Profiled aluminium/coated steel ispreferred to resist breakage and vandalism,but if the roof is slated or tiled a plywoodunderlay makes a break-in more difficult.

� Roof overhangs make access more difficultin single-storey buildings and giveprotection to people and wall finishes.

� Windows in changing rooms shouldgenerally be avoided. Roof-lights to bothchanging rooms and corridors are moresecure and can produce a lighter, more airyenvironment but they should be fitted withinternal grilles.

� Wall finishes should be selected with theproblem of graffiti in mind. Detailing shouldnot assist vertical access, and rainwaterdownpipes and their fixings shouldtherefore be specified with care.

� On some sites it will be inadvisable toinclude open porches or other places ofpotential concealment.

� Window frames must be in hardwood,aluminium, galvanised steel or UPVC toreduce maintenance.

� External doors should be limited in numberand of robust specification. Where there iscentral internal circulation, avoid individualfield exits from changing rooms, whichincrease floor area and decrease security.

� Door and veranda thresholds must beramped for wheelchair access. The numberof door openings should be restricted anddoor leaves and ironmongery should be ofhigh specification.

� Consider roller shutters to windows in alllocations prone to vandalism.

External works

� Provide non-slip, well-drained surfaces inthe vicinity of the building. Avoid the use oflight coloured pavings to terraces, they cancause distracting glare.

� Disabled parking bays should be as closeas possible to the entrance and haveramped curbs.

� Coach as well as car parking will usually berequired and service vehicle access andturning must also be considered.

� Synthetic-surfaced playing areas requirepaved access to the pavilion, routed todeter use by grass pitch players.

� Good lighting levels are an essential safetyfeature around the building and the carpark.

� Boot scrapers outside the changingentrance encourage boot cleaning andremoval, especially if under cover.

� Buildings always look better when properattention has been paid to their immediatesurroundings. This subject is covered indetail in a separate Guidance Note.

15

Building interior

Floors

� Concrete floor construction is required forall ground floors either power-floated orscreeded, or screeded pre-cast planks.

� In changing rooms and showers floors mustbe finished with slip resistant ceramic tilesto provide an easily cleaned and durablesurface.

� Shower dry-off zones should be laid to falltowards the shower floor which in turnshould fall to a drainage channel with acontinuous lift out grille.

� The main entrance and changing entrancesrequire foot-wells of at least 1.2m length, withmats for both scraping and drying.

� Floors outside the changing areas,especially in rooms at an upper level, canhave less durable finishes and carpet isoften preferred in these social spaces.Club, weights or fitness rooms that areadjacent to changing could have heavieruse and need to be specified with care.

Walls

� Internal walls must be strong enough towithstand impact and to support coat pegrails and possibly kit bag racking andcantilevered benching. Brick, denseconcrete block and modular concretepanels are suitable materials.

� Timber framing can provide quick andeconomic construction but must becarefully specified and detailed withparticular attention to moisture protection.Always raise stud-frame sole plates aboveslab level on a concrete curb.

� Partition lining should be plywood or glass fibre-reinforced plasterboard. Ifplasterboard is used as a finish it must bebacked with plywood. Marine gradeplywood is essential behind shower tiling.

� Walls to changing rooms and showersmust be finished with ceramic tiles fromfloor to ceiling. If walls continue upwardsto meet a pitched roof tiles can bestopped at door height.

� Doors should be of solid core constructionwith good-quality ironmongery andprotected with kick plates.

Avoid false ceilings in changing rooms. Use roof-lights to give a sense of space.


16

Ceilings

� Pitched roofs incorporating roof-lightsinvariably provide the most pleasantenvironment for changing.

� Lightweight suspended ceilings should notbe used as they are rapidly vandalised.

� In two-storey buildings the ceiling finishshould be robust.

� Glass fibre-reinforced plasterboard shouldbe specified throughout changing, showerand circulation areas.

Fittings

Benches

Benches should be of slatted, light colouredhardwood or dense, solid plastic planks on cast aluminium or galvanised steel cantileverbrackets.

Coat hooks

Coat hooks should be mounted over benchesand in shower dry-off areas. Provide two snubpattern hooks for each shower or bench space.

Mirrors, notice boards, etc

� Fix mirrors in each changing unit.� Wipe boards to be fitted in home and first

team changing rooms.� Provide robust wall-mounted wastebins in

all changing rooms.� Provide notice boards in the entrance area.

Grooming areas

Grooming areas need a shelf and mirror – theprovision of hair driers should be considered.These facilities could be included in individualchanging rooms or in communal toilets or at are-entry point in the main corridor.

Clothes storage lockers

Typically 500mm deep, 300mm wide andarranged in columns 1.8m high. Bowlers’lockers are 300mm cubes.

Special fittings

Consider providing special fittings for thestoring of cricket kit boxes which, withdimensions of 900 x 250 x 400mm, arecumbersome to unload and store.

� Radiators or heaters should be sitedbeneath benches or in locations thatprevent damage or burns.

� The heating should be controlled centrallywith a time clock but with tamper-prooflocal thermostats to give a degree oflimited local control and sensitivity. Frostprotection must always be considered.

� Larger pavilions will have boiler or plantrooms which should be located for ease ofservice vehicle access.

Ventilation

� Provide for efficient cross-ventilationthroughout the building by fitting air bricks,grilles and/or trickle ventilators in externalwalls. Undercut internal doors or fit robusttransfer grilles for ventilation when thebuilding is locked up.

� Fit mechanical extracts to changing areatoilets, kitchens and shower areas.

� All fans should be fitted with humidistatsand over-run switches and provide eight airchanges per hour.

Heating and ventilation

Good design of the heating and ventilationsystems is important, not only to provide acomfortable environment but also to ensure that the problems of condensation and mouldgrowth are avoided. Due to the nature and typeof use, changing rooms create conditions thatare ideal for these problems.

Insulation

Consider the provision of insulation aboveBuilding Regulations standards.

Heating

� The type of heat source is dependent onthe fuel available and pattern of use.

� Electric convector heaters are cheap toinstall and easy to control with thermostatsand time clocks, but they do have highrunning costs and are generally oflightweight construction and rot anddeteriorate rapidly. If they are used theymust be carefully selected and specified.

� For pavilions/changing areas withcontinuous use, either underfloor heatingusing off-peak electricity and buried cables,or a water-based system with a gas boilerwill provide lifelong low maintenance andcomfort, but both systems are moreexpensive to install.

� Gas- or oil-fired water-based centralheating systems are likely to be the mostappropriate for most pavilions.

� Temperatures need to be:changing and shower areas 20-22˚toilets and other areas 18-20˚

� Provide background heating to give frostprotection in cold weather.

� Electric heaters must be robust and locatedfor protection, for example beneathbenches.

18

Electrical services

Lighting

Light fittings should be fixed directly to the wallor ceiling and be of robust, moisture-resistantdesign. Avoid cutting through ceiling vapourbarriers.

� Consider the use of presence detectorsthroughout.

� Provide 100-150 lux minimum throughoutthe changing block, with switching from acentral, secure location.

� Consider the need for external lightinglinked to time clocks or sensors.

Power

� Provide an electrical intake and metercupboard, even for the smallest pavilion.

� Fit guarded power sockets for cleaningequipment throughout the changing areas.A corridor location is preferable and thecircuit should be protected with a residualcurrent circuit breaker.

Other electrical services

� Include a telephone in all but the smallestpavilions.

� Consider an electronic security system andcontact the local Crime Prevention Officerfor advice.

Water services

� Wherever possible, pipework should beconcealed in well-detailed, accessible ductsto reduce vandalism and to improve itsappearance.

� Insulate all pipework and run beneathroof/ceiling insulation for extra protectionand ease of maintenance.

� In ‘all-electric’ pavilions, consider a central,multi-point heater in preference to individualshower or basin heaters with limited output.

� Hot water storage is wasteful except wherethere is continuity of use, for example ineducational establishments.

� Cold water storage, if required, should bein an insulated tank above a shower orother drained area with a frost-protectionheater.

� If a drinks vending machine is fitted it willrequire a mains water supply.

� Use thermostatic mixing valves to controlthe flow and temperature of any storedwater.

� Fit cylinders with centrally-located 7-day,24-hour time switches.

� Provide bib-cocks in shower areas to allowhosing down.

� Drinking fountains should be provided.

Sanitary fittings

Sanitary fittings must be specified with care:

� ‘Back to wall’ WCs assist with cleaning.

� Individual wall-hung basins are easier tomaintain than a vanity top with inset basins.Note that it is essential that the basin-mounting bracket is fitted with a substantialfixing.

� Stainless steel fittings are appropriate forsome locations.

� Air-admittance valves, correctly installed,should be used in preference to roof ventterminals to avoid having to break throughthe roof finish.

Basin ducts protect pipework and simplify surfacecleaning.
