The capital gymnasium was built in 1968, with a construction area of about 53000 square meters. It is a comprehensive and multi-functional gymnasium and one of the important sports and cultural venues in Beijing. In the 38 years since its completion, it has undertaken many international and domestic sports competitions and training, as well as large-scale artistic performances. In order to meet the needs of volleyball competition and training in 2008 Olympic Games, the capital gymnasium has carried out a large-scale reconstruction project. After the renovation, the building area of the capital gymnasium will be increased to about 54600 square meters, meeting the functional needs of the International Olympic Committee and international sports organizations. The reconstruction project mainly includes the competition hall, comprehensive training hall and the auxiliary room for the competition time. The expansion part mainly includes the ticket hall and four goods storage places. In addition, the environment of the library area should be reconstructed and repaired. The reconstructed capital gymnasium can not only meet the requirements of volleyball training and competition in 2008 Olympic Games, but also meet the requirements of other large-scale activities after the games.

As the ice sports venue of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, the renovation will start before the end of 2018.

Development history

The capital gymnasium is the largest, most functional and most widely used gymnasium in Beijing. It is surrounded by Beijing Zoo in the East, Zizhuyuan Park and National Library of China in the West. The capital gymnasium started construction on June 1, 1966 and was officially put into use in October 1968. The whole project cost more than 15 million yuan from design and construction to materials and equipment.

The capital gymnasium was built in the 1960s. The reconstruction and expansion of the Olympic project has added new vitality to the capital gymnasium, adding 12 audience boxes on the East and west sides of the competition venue, setting up two elevators on the East and west sides of the gymnasium, and improving ventilation, air conditioning, radio and sound facilities to better serve the audience.

In addition, some seats are reduced and the distance between seats is increased. Because the seats of Shouti were changed during the bidding period, for the sake of thrifty hosting the Olympic Games, the audience seats were basically unchanged. But the first body, which could hold 18000 people, ended up with 17500 seats. In addition, in order to meet the needs of large-scale activities, the front half of the rostrum is movable and can rise and fall automatically. It is understood that these "activities" podium after all put away, can expand the area of 120 square meters for the stadium

The capital gymnasium, which is nearly 50 years old, has been transformed into an Olympic project after holding many international competitions and large-scale activities. The reconstruction and expansion of the capital gymnasium has added new vitality. As the main volleyball field of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, it will add a glorious page to the history of the capital gymnasium.

The capital gymnasium covers an area of 54707 square meters, and its functions are in accordance with international standards, which fully embodies the connotation of the Olympic spirit. The reconstruction and reinforcement part mainly includes competition hall, comprehensive training hall and game time auxiliary room, and the new part mainly includes ticket hall, four goods deposit offices and registration center.

After the renovation, the appearance of the capital gymnasium has not changed, but two elevators and one climbing ladder have been added to the East and west sides. Among them, the two elevators on the west side of the gymnasium are barrier free elevators. All elevators use Braille and language prompt system. There are language prompts in the process of lifting, which are "speaking" elevators.

The first building was built in the 1960s, when the national building standards and relevant specifications were adopted

It is not perfect enough to meet the needs of modern architecture. The evacuation of the audience in Shouti hall, which can accommodate nearly 20000 people, is a big problem. Therefore, elevators and walking ladders have been added in this renovation to facilitate the evacuation of the audience in case of emergency. " "In addition, functional housing also needs transportation up and down," Han said. Finally, people saw the elevators and ladders in the vertical glass curtain walls on the East and west sides of the head

In order to maintain the original appearance of the building and some special parts, scaffolding, large-scale protection and other measures are adopted in the construction to avoid contact with them as far as possible. In order to avoid the damage to the original building structure, non vibration water drilling method is used to cut the original structure beam slab and concrete wall openings and part of reinforced concrete structure demolition. At the same time, in order to achieve the requirements of non-destructive demolition, coring diamond drilling machine is also used in the cutting and demolition construction.

As an ice sports venue for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, the capital gymnasium has initially formed a renovation plan, which will be started by the end of 2018.
