Sport & Recreation

MSK Architects designs sports and recreation facilities that inspire performance, support community use, and adapt over time. We apply planning principles from infrastructure (circulation, safety) and education (flexibility, multi-programming) to ensure facilities serve athletes, staff, and the wider community.

Hills Basketball complex in Castle Hill — accommodating competition-level courts and spectator facilities.

Examples

  • Hills Basketball complex in Castle Hill — accommodating competition-level courts and spectator facilities.
  • YMCA Mariners Aquatic Centre and Mariners Centre of Excellence — combining elite training spaces with community access.
  • European experience includes concept design for a 30,000-seat stadium, showcasing expertise at large scale.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Dual use: Professional and community needs differ. Solution: zoning and adaptable layouts.
  • Durability: High-traffic facilities require robust detailing. Solution: hard-wearing materials and smart services.
  • Spectator experience: Balancing comfort with cost. Solution: integrated seating, acoustics, and wayfinding.

Cross-Sector Readiness

  • Education links: Multi-use planning informs flexible sporting campuses.
  • Infrastructure links: Circulation and access solutions from transport projects apply to large event venues.
