Completed in 2025, the hall places a full-size football pitch and athletics facilities beneath an 80-metre clear span. The photographic sequence begins with the building in its wider civic setting, moves through the entrance and structural passage, and opens into the main hall.

Inside, repeated trusses, track markings and the broad plane of the field carry the scale of the space. Closer views of specialised equipment and people in motion bring its programme into focus, before the sequence returns to the roof edge, horizon and exterior form.
