Open in the underground basketball hall, reading room, "long" on the roof of the football field, tennis court... A few days ago, Jimu News reporters visited many primary and secondary schools in Wuhan and found that in order to ensure the space for student activities and solve the problem of tight land use, many schools have expanded their space vertically and let campus facilities "enter the sky and the earth".

The reporter of Jimu News found that old schools with a certain history tend to renovate the roof of the building to do activity space. "Because other places are stuffed, even if the wrong peak is limited in activity, only the roof is a large undeveloped open space." A principal laughed.
Wuhan Qiaokou District Xinhe village primary school tried relatively early, the school is located in the central urban area, is a traditional football school, once out of Zheng Bin, Lei Tenglong and other 52 international footballers, known as Wuhan "cradle of international football". The school covers an area of only 6,600 square meters, with only an artificial turf football field, and more than 1,000 students lack a sports field. In 2014, the school began to plan a rooftop football field, and invited Guangdong engineers with rich experience in renovating the roof of the school to conduct field surveys, and finally decided to build a football field on the roof of the comprehensive building and the new teaching building. The most troublesome part of the project was the diversion of the roof fire pipe, in order to ensure the smoothing of the roof floor and the safety of student movement, the school changed the pipe to the corridor on the fourth floor. In 2015, the two 700-square-meter rooftop football stadiums were put into use.

The rooftop soccer field has become a place for first- and second-year students to conduct football training and physical education for the whole school. Jimu News reporters saw at the school that the two football fields were built on the roof of the fourth floor, surrounded by protective panels, and there was also a large net on the roof to ensure that footballs would not fly out of the roof. "Playing football on the roof without outside interference, lower graders can better concentrate." Wang Jianhong, director of moral education at Xinhe village primary school, introduced that before the reconstruction, the school fully considered many problems such as load-bearing, noise, resonance, water leakage, etc., and worked with Guangdong experts to study and measure the housing structure and building materials of the teaching building.
The ball game on the top of the building is in full swing, and the sound of books downstairs is bright, and such a picture has become the norm in Xinhecun Primary School. In recent years, principals and teachers from Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Jiangxi and other places have come to observe the rooftop football field here. "At present, there are football teams in 24 classes of our school, and every semester will carry out class football leagues, and the roof football field is also one of the competition fields, although the specifications are not as good as the standard court, but based on the venue environment, the age and technical level of the students, by simplifying the rules of the ball game, mainly carrying out three-a-side, four-a-side games, etc., to enhance the fun of children playing ball on the roof." Wang Jianhong said that the school also introduced the most advanced "sports image recording technology analysis system" from Sweden to help children analyze the ball game technology.
At Wuhan Optics Valley No. 4 Primary School, there is also a tennis court on the top of a five-story building. Zhu Yijie, the school's tennis club instructor, said that the school has a history of more than 50 years, and was previously a primary school attached to the factory, with a small area of less than 9,000 square meters. Previously, the roof of the building was used as a rehearsal ground by the school wind orchestra, and around 2015, the orchestra had a rehearsal classroom, and he quickly fought for it to become a training ground for the tennis club. "Before this place was waterproof, paved with plastic turf, we remodeled it quite easily, added four or four meters high protective net, a day or two to get it done." Zhu Yijie said that the children used to "fight guerrilla" training, but now they have a fixed venue, and they are very happy.

Because it is close to the East Lake and located in the wind outlet, this venue is not equipped with a mesh roof, although the ball rarely flies out, but the tennis club still has rules: only with no air pressure soft ball, can only swing to the east, so that even if the ball falls, it will only fall into the small garden where almost no one in the school passes, and it will not hurt anyone. But from this humble tennis court, there have been many champions of Wuhan Youth Tennis Competitions, such as Yue Yichen, a student of the 604th class of the school who has just won the women's B singles and doubles doubles championship in the 11th Wuhan Games and Youth Sports Junior Children's Group Tennis Competition. "I was one of the first students of the Four Little Tennis Club and won the first place in the City Division A group in junior high school. Looking back now, when I was a child training on the roof, although the conditions were not good, it stimulated my interest in tennis. Luo Jing, who is now a first-year high school student at Huake Affiliated High School, said.
Wuchang District Bailu Street Primary School also rebuilt the roof this year, and built a new indoor gymnasium of about 500 square meters on the seventh floor of the teaching building. The reporter saw on the spot that the entire indoor sports hall was "L" shaped, the left was a track and field with a length of about 30 meters, the right was a badminton court and a table tennis table, and the front section was a shuttlecock court. Principal Zhang Jiehui said that this was originally a vacant space on the top floor, this year the school installed a ceiling, of which nearly 500 square meters were transformed into sports venues, and the second phase will also convert nearly 400 square meters of roof open space into an aerial farm in the form of a sun room, where discipline integration and labor education will be carried out.

"In the past, when it rained, we could only practice in the lecture hall, but we were afraid of touching bad things, but now we are good, and we are not afraid of how to practice." Peng Xuxiang, a member of the school's shuttlecock team, said.

There are also large light-transmitting windows
If the development to the sky is the helpless move of the old schools in the old city, then in recent years, many new primary and secondary schools in Wuhan have consciously developed underground.
On the afternoon of October 15th, Wuhan Jianghan District First Grade Kindergarten held a fun sports meeting for the first grade in the school gymnasium. It was raining outside, and the students had more fun.

The reporter noticed that the gymnasium was actually in the basement of the nine-year continuous school newly opened in September this year, and to be precise, it was located on the negative first floor. "The overall building area of the school is 11673.52 square meters, of which the underground teaching function utilization area is 5990.6 square meters, and the parking and equipment area is 5682.92 square meters, a total of two floors high, above which is a corridor connecting the two teaching buildings. Next door to the gymnasium are modern reading rooms, multi-purpose lecture halls, gymnastic rooms, musical instrument practice rooms, science inquiry rooms, school parking lots, etc. Tu Ailing, vice president of the school, said that the multi-functional lecture hall can accommodate 432 people to hold meetings at the same time, the musical instrument practice room will have 4 pianos, and the art room will also be filled with easels for students to paint... "Next month, these functional rooms will be officially put into use."

According to reports, every day at five o'clock in the afternoon, the 5 special students of the basketball team will go to the basketball hall for training; when there is rain, the school's physical education class will also be adjusted to the basketball hall. The most rare thing is that although these places are built in the "underground", through the design of the sunken square, they are almost all equipped with large windows, with better lighting and ventilation effects, teachers and students can see the blue sky and green plants from the inside out, which greatly reduces people's sense of depression in the underground space.

In addition, the school basketball hall also has a hidden function - its basketball, ball frame can be automatically retracted, when they are indented, the venue can be used as a studio auditorium, for this reason, the wall has long been equipped with a large screen.
Daniel Zhang, designer of the school and engineer of Wuhan Construction Engineering Research and Design Co., Ltd., said that the construction of diversified spaces under the school is mainly to cope with the shortage of available space on campus in the process of vigorous urban development. Through intensive design, efficient use of land can be achieved, and the intensity of use per unit area and output efficiency can be improved. To this end, in the early stage of the geological conditions, geographical environment and long-term urban underground planning to do a good job of understanding, the surrounding buildings to do a reasonable concession on the basis of the designer needs to do a good job of in-depth communication with the education bureau, the school should do a good job of in-depth communication, reasonable planning of the school's functional layout, the lighting requirements are low, the sound impact of professional classrooms, public rooms or equipment rooms and some sports venues set up underground, in order to leave more space on the ground, saving land costs.
In addition to the Jianghan District, which is full of land, and in the Qiaokou District, the central city of Wuhan, such attempts are also underway. According to the relevant staff of the infrastructure maintenance management station of the District Education Bureau, the 17th Junior High School of Wuhan City, which is currently being expanded in situ, has included the construction of an underground basketball court in the plan. The school is located in the city center and has limited area for student activities. In the future, a composite underground space integrating basketball court, parking lot and activity center will be built here, with an area of about 5,000 square meters.
Expert Voice:
As long as the security measures are complete, it is worth promoting
Relevant experts of the Wuhan Academy of Education and Science said that the rational use of limited resources and the expansion of students' activity areas through various means are worth promoting, provided that the quality is excellent and the safety measures are complete. "In some cities in South Korea and Japan, there are many schools that have opened up rooftop playgrounds, and their safety management is in place." Experts remind that at the same time, new schools can consider strengthening the load on the floor slabs when designing, so as to facilitate the future transformation of the activity space.
At the beginning of this century, China introduced universal school construction standards for urban and rural areas. With the rapid development of urban construction, the density of living is getting higher and higher, and the requirements for quality education are growing, and some districts in Wuhan have begun to formulate "new regulations" according to local conditions. In May 2015, the Education Bureau of Jianghan District of Wuhan City and the School of Jianhua Planning of Huazhong University of Science and Technology jointly established a research group, and a number of professors, doctors and master students formed a research team to conduct on-site surveys of all primary and secondary schools in the district, and finally came up with intensive Guidelines suitable for the long-term needs of education in the district. Relying on the "Guidelines", the construction of primary and secondary school campuses in Jianghan District has greatly improved the standard and quality in 12 aspects, such as the efficiency of ground space use, the use of underground space, the setting of public communication space, the area of classroom use, the characteristic educational function room, the diversion of people and vehicles, and the concept of social sharing, creatively excavating the underground space, and organically combining the space in the campus with the surrounding urban space.
Since then, the newly built primary and secondary schools in Jianghan District of Wuhan City have gradually begun to have the following characteristics: the underground of the campus will be excavated as much as possible, forming a basement or semi-basement, the layout of the above-ground and underground functions of the campus, the stadium, corridor and psychological consultation room, the science exploration room, the art classroom, the dance classroom and other functional rooms have been put into the underground, there are corridors to make the connection between the buildings closer, corridors, overhead layers and sunken courtyard systems and sunshine, greenery and flowing air, etc., to build more learning spaces. New energy, new materials, intelligent management, etc. are widely used. A 2018 statistic shows that of the 10 campuses built, under construction and proposed in the district, underground space accounts for 41.9% of the total construction area.
