Blue Flames Sporting Club Netball Facility

Premier sports structure

Rubb’s flair for architectural details is clearly displayed by Blue Flames Sporting Club’s indoor netball facility at Longbenton, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Blue Flames’ reverse curved roof provided a construction challenge, with Rubb having to ensure a seamless curve on both the steel framework and the PVC cladding.

One of the key features of these indoor netball facilities is the natural light allowed in through the semi-translucent roof.

This natural lighting not only saves on energy costs but also provides a lighter, brighter and more appealing sports activity environment than other structures. The 47m span x 66m long Blue Flames multi sports netball facility stands adjacent to the Newcastle United Indoor Football Centre, another one of Rubb’s premier sports structures.
