These are shell type structures that include handball or racquetball court facilities. The quality of individual facilities can vary greatly depending on the type of structure and its appointments, including the extent of the lounge, refreshment, exercise, shower and spectator areas. These buildings have suitable office areas and lounge facilities.
Court floor surfaces are hardwood. Courts are totally enclosed to include four walls and a ceiling surface. Court access is through a flush-mounted door generally found in a rear or a sidewall.
The lower quality facilities are generally constructed with wood framed siding or a rigid steel frame and an exterior cover of an insulated steel panel or a masonry bearing wall. They include adequate lighting and plumbing, dressing rooms and shower facilities. Plaster walls, used primarily for low-cost, non-regulation courts, require a masonry wall backing.
The better quality structures include lounge and/or snack areas, health facilities, dressing rooms, showers and saunas. Spectator galleries are typically small and in the best facilities are located behind or above the back playing wall. When galleries are behind the court, portions of the rear wall surface are constructed with some type of safety glass.
Include the second floor or mezzanine area in the total floor area calculation.
The following are not included in the costs: Lockers, pools, furnishings and exercise or kitchen equipment.
