This significant resource for cycling and high performance sport – the “home of cycling” – is situated on a difficult site between State Highway one and a gully. The building’s simple and robust exterior form is a fitting response to its inner purpose – the track. Comprised of 250 metres of Siberian spruce, the track is both elegantly and functionally impressive. Also impressive is the lightweight roof structure; supported by the exterior circumference and without any interior support columns, it provides spectators, no matter where they sit, with unobstructed views of the action.
