Photos: China Agricultural University (CAU) Gymnasium

The newly built CAU Gymnasium is the venue for wrestling and volleyball seating competition during the Olympics and Paralympics. Upon entering the gym, one can see that panes of glass separate the roof's steps which can be automatically adjusted to allow for ventilation and to add natural lighting. The skylights provide enough light for daytime activities even in the cloudy weather. The environment-friendly design will benefit the university for cost and energy saving.
