National Sports Centre Papendal

Papendal is the home base of NOC*NSF and football club SBV Vitesse.

With over 20 building projects in 10 years time, the Olympic Training Centre is completely modernized.

The idea for a national High Performance Centre from which all the affiliated sports federations of the NSF could profit was introduced.

On 21 June, Princess Margriet opened the Olympics for disabled (currently known as the Paralympic Games).

During summer the cold groundwater is used to cool building, while warmth is saved in the ground for heating during winter periods.

For example NOC*NSF, football club Vitesse, the Athletics Federation and depandanced of ROC Rijn IJssel en de HAN University of Applied Sciences.
