Interior view (January 2015)

The design and planning of the sports hall was created by Alastair Richardson of Cox Architects . The execution of the planning is supervised by Dar Al Handasah (Shair and Partners) and the construction management is carried out by the company Astad Project Management . The construction is divided into three construction phases - the sports hall, the cooling tower building and the microwave tower , which is to serve as the press center. The construction of the sports hall started in 2013. That should be finished at the end of November 2014. Around 6,500 workers were working on the construction site of the sports hall in May 2014.

The sports hall covers an area of ​​49,315 m², the entire building has a floor area of ​​107,650 m². The outer skin of the sports hall is made of glass in the colors of typical Qatar elements - mother-of-pearl, sand and water - and can be illuminated by LEDs . In the surface of the outer skin there are 1,500 small windows that allow natural ventilation in addition to the air conditioning.

use

The sports hall was primarily built as a venue for the 2015 men's handball world championship in Qatar. In addition to handball, it can also be used for basketball, volleyball, concerts and congresses. In addition to the actual sports hall, there are also two training halls, weight rooms and restaurants in the entire building.

The surrounding area is to be equipped with parking spaces, as well as a mosque , running and cycling routes and six soccer fields.
