SVP INDOOR STADIUM, NSCI

It is difficult to miss the Sardar Vallabhai Patel Indoor Stadium, an imposing glass and aluminum clad structure, as one passes the Haji Ali in Worli. The stadium was designed by us to have a 90 metre diameter column-less indoor arena surrounded by 16 individual halls, which act as ancillary support spaces to this arena. Two of these 16 halls are converted into a sprawling unisex gymnasium, health club and a salon encompassing almost 28,000 sq. ft.

Shashi Prabhu & Associates has designed this spectacular multi-purpose indoor stadium in the heart of Mumbai. This stadium will be the first of its kind in the Island City. Project consisted of demolition of an existing dilapidated stadium and construct an ultra-modern 8000 capacity fully air- conditioned stadium. The 90m diameter central arena can accommodate a combination of tiered and luxury seating arrangement and is capable of housing international level championship games, Film Award Shows, Exhibitions, Rock Concerts, etc. The Indoor Lighting levels are designed specially to facilitate televising international events. The ancillary buildings around the central arena house 3 badminton courts, 4 glass squash courts, 4 billiard tables, a 10,000 sq. ft. and health club and many other sports facilities.

Equipment and mirror paneling are strategically placed within the gymnasium to provide cardiovascular, strength and weight training to the gym users. A separate enclosed room for aerobics & yoga is placed on one end of the gymnasium to provide a quiet area of the users. The health club is equipped with Steam Room, Sauna Room, Jacuzzi, Massage Rooms and Shower/ Change facilities. Almost 900 lockers provide secured storage to the members.
