Alec Mullins Sports Hall

Alec Mullins Sports Hall works the way most indoor sports facilities have to in a place like Makhanda: it's a multipurpose space that shifts between different codes depending on the day and the season. A basketball court becomes a netball court becomes a badminton arena, with equipment stored and courts reset as demand changes. The surfaces need to handle impact from different footwear and styles of play. Maintenance focuses on keeping the floor playable and the roof intact against the highveld-influenced weather. Load shedding and weather patterns shape how the facility plans its schedules and what backup systems matter.
