The fixed stands area is designed for 300 people and an additional 6 wheelchair spaces. Three telescopic seating stands enable the capacity to be enlarged by 264 people to a total of 566 spectators.
The unity of the hall and sports area is a significant element in urban spatial design: The facade of the hall has the same structured blue surface as the sports area with its rubber coating. The design unity thus produced creates an entrance area in the school grounds, which already has strong associative references to sports. The horizontal caesura in the base, in the form of a glass band that can be illuminated, also makes the structure appear light.

In the jointed, low structure connecting the existing building of the "old sports hall" and the new hall, the entrances and the foyer with a small buffet area and adjoining rooms are located. Through the synergetic use of the existing – and now renovated and optimised – washrooms within the "old" sports hall, the direct connection can also be justified in terms of function for external use in the form of events.

As an anti-glare measure, the sports hall itself is lit naturally from the north side. Additional dome roof lights, which serve the purpose of fume extraction, provide pleasant floor lighting.

Access is designed in such a way that, on the one hand, a strict division is possible between school use and external use by clubs, for example, and on the other hand, between visitors to events and players: External users and organisers/players have access to the sports hall via the running track in the north of the grounds and enter the building from the new north-east forecourt so that the existing school building is not used and lessons are not disturbed. Access for visitors to events is via the main, central axis of the school grounds and through the new main entrance, on the school side, into the foyer, from where the seating in the stands can be reached and is wheelchair accessible.
