杭州电子科技大学体育馆

The Hangzhou Dianzi University Gymnasium stands at 280 Xuelin Street in Qiantang District, Hangzhou, on the north-western edge of the university's teaching area in the Xiasha higher education park, with Wenyuan Road to the west and Xuelin Street to the north. Students and staff call it the flying saucer because of its disc-like profile. Completed in 2006 as the campus basketball hall, it has hosted CBA fixtures, wheelchair basketball at the 8th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and men's football at the 13th National University Games, and was once the home court of the Zhejiang Wanma basketball team. During the Asian Games it served as the fencing venue, comprising a main competition hall, a preliminary hall and a warm-up hall, with 14,595 square metres of floor area and 4,368 seats during the Games; the organising committee's published spectator capacity is 4,599. The refurbishment followed a principle of minimal structural change and maximum reuse of existing space. More than 5,000 seats that had been in use for 15 years were removed, cleaned, stored and reinstalled, saving about 4 million yuan on its own. The main hall became the final piste hall with five fencing strips, while two new annexes provided the preliminary and warm-up halls. After the Games the venue is run by the university's physical education department, integrated into the campus booking system and used for university and outside competitions. The campus lies about 15 kilometres north-east of the Asian Games village, and the gymnasium is a short walk from Xuelin Street, one of the main spines of the Xiasha university town.
