Steel Recreational Buildings
Planning a recreational facility is an involved process. Consideration must be given to the cost of building the structure, the length of time for construction, and the design of the building to accommodate the anticipated activities. The design phase of construction should also take into account durability, long-range maintenance costs, and the possibility of future expansion.
Furthermore, functionality and aesthetics will be of major importance in promoting the popularity of the recreational facility to your intended audience. If designing a school structure, you want to build a recreational facility that will be a source of pride to the students, parents, and alumni. A commercial building should be designed to draw the public, inviting them to join in the recreational activities, both as participants and spectators.
A steel construction building program will accomplish all of these requirements, along with much more. To begin with, a steel building can be constructed at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. Add to this the shorter length of time for construction and you are well on the way to an affordable facility that will quickly be in use.
Steel construction is designed to withstand the forces of nature and to handle the normal wear and tear of daily use. This feature will keep your maintenance budget manageable so that you can spend your money on promotional activities and program improvements. Along with protection from the elements, steel construction is non-combustible and will enhance the safety of your building. Additionally, as your programming grows it will be easy to expand your facility to keep up with demand. A well-designed building will allow for additional recreational growth with a minimum of additional work.
A steel recreational facility is not a metal box with holes cut out for windows. With today’s manufacturing technologies and methods, a steel facility can be an aesthetically pleasing structure, full of color and design. The exterior can be enhanced by a fa
