The sports hall at the Młodzieżowy Ośrodek Wychowawczy im. Janusza Korczaka in Babimost, at ul. Kargowska 61, is a modern sports and event facility with sanitary and social support rooms, intended primarily for sports activities and physical recreation for the young people in the centre's care. The investor and contracting authority was Województwo Lubuskie – Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Lubuskiego, the general contractor was Z.P.H.U. MAT-BUD of Chobienice, while the design documentation was produced by Pracownia Projektowo-Usługowa Bogdan Radny of Babimost. The building was put into use in 2023.
The building was designed as the sports facility of the Młodzieżowy Ośrodek Wychowawczy, serving sports activities, physical recreation and events organised by the centre. Besides the hall itself, it houses an exercise room, a gym, and social and technical support rooms, and serves primarily young people undergoing social rehabilitation. Given the hall's specific use, it was necessary to apply solutions with increased mechanical resistance, in particular a ceiling suited to direct contact with a ball, as well as wall claddings providing adequate acoustic parameters and durability under intensive use.
For the general contractor, Z.P.H.U. MAT-BUD, we carried out the complete supply and installation of ceilings adapted to the sports facility, with increased resistance to ball impact, as well as acoustic Ecophon wall claddings. The hall underwent a full acoustic adaptation: from the acoustic design and system selection, through installation, to post-installation acoustic measurements verifying the parameters achieved in the finished interior.
The greatest challenge was combining the acoustic requirements with the need to ensure high mechanical resistance of the ceiling and wall surfaces, in a space where the finishing elements are exposed to ball impact. The use of appropriately selected Ecophon systems, together with a ceiling designed for intensive use, made it possible to achieve a durable and safe finish for the hall, while at the same time reducing reverberation and improving the acoustic comfort of its users.
