Nike Olympic Basketball Court Installation in a Converted Warehouse

The brief

This purpose-built basketball court was commissioned by Nike for the Olympics, requiring full compliance with BS EN 14904 Part A4 sports standard. The project posed a unique challenge due to the gradual slope across the converted warehouse space.

The solution involved the installation of New Era Sports cradles, ranging from 74–320 mm, to level the floor perfectly. The cradles were fitted on a Delta FM membrane at 411 mm centres to accommodate the Junckers black-stained beech flooring, providing a high-performance, resilient surface suitable for elite sports use.
