(BEIJING, August 20) -- With the 2008 Olympic Games less than one year away, the China Agricultural University (CAU) Gymnasium was delivered to wrestling's internationl governing body (FILA) at a symbolic key hand-over ceremony Saturday morning.
Located in the east campus of the CAU, the complex spans about 24,000 square meters and offers a seating capacity for 8,500 fans - 6,000 of which are permanent seats and the rest of 2,500 are moveable seats. The venue is, by far, the first completed venue that is based on a school campus.
After the Games, the venue will serve as a multi-functional facility fully accessible to the university students and staff, as well as the residents in the neighborhood, hosting various indoor sports events such as badmontion, table tennis, gymnastics, volleyball, handball and indoor football.
It may also facilitate the national squad for daily training.
