Karin Kampus - A New Era Sports Center and Swimming Hall, in Rauma, Finland
At the end of 2023, Karin Kampus opened in Rauma, Finland – a versatile learning and sports center, with the swimming hall opening in early 2025, which has sparked great excitement and pride in the city. The campus brings together study and recreational opportunities for people of all ages. The facilities are shared by various organizations and offer versatile environments for both learning and leisure activities.
One of the campus’s greatest prides is its state-of-the-art swimming hall and sports hall, which together create a strong foundation for the community in the area, providing excellent facilities for both competitive sports and everyday well-being. Purus products can be seen in the floor drain solutions in the pool area and changing rooms of the swimming hall.
The Swimming Hall – Modern and Sustainable Design
The swimming hall at Karin Kampus is an example of modern and user-friendly design. It combines functionality, sustainability, and a polished appearance. The swimming hall offers diverse opportunities for water sports and swimming for swimmers of all ages and levels. The total pool area in the swimming hall is approximately 1,005 square meters. This includes eight different pools, such as a 25-meter swimming pool, a diving pool, and additionally a multi-purpose pool and water slide. This makes it an excellent place for competitive swimming, fitness swimming, water aerobics, and family water activities.
The swimming hall has been designed with usability and sustainable solutions in mind. The Purus floor drain 100 with a tile insert cover has played a key role in ensuring the functionality of both the swimming pool area and the changing rooms. The Purus floor drain provides a modern, unobtrusive solution that seamlessly integrates with the rest of the interior, enabling one-way floor slopes, the use of large floor tiles, and thus accessible pool and changing facilities.
To the swimming hall and shower areas stainless Purus channels 100 was chosen, with Tile insert grates.
Ecology and Community – Karin Kampus and Sustainable Development
The design of Karin Kampus has taken ecology and energy efficiency into account, which is reflected in the use of intelligent ventilation and renewable energy. This makes the campus an example of Rauma’s sustainable development and the city’s efforts towards environmentally friendly solutions. The campus’s facilities focus on energy savings and material durability, and the solutions used in its construction support the well-being of the city’s residents and the improvement of their living environment.
Karin Kampus is not just a building but also a shared space for the community, bringing together different age groups and hobbyists. The sports hall and swimming hall attract visitors not only from the Rauma area but also from beyond, and the campus’s flexible spaces allow for the organization of various events. This strengthens the vitality of the area and supports the quality of life in Rauma.
Future Outlook
Karin Kampus is also a significant cultural and educational center, as it houses, among other things, Hj. Nortamo Primary School, a music school, an adult education center, and schools for visual arts and theater. This diverse activity makes the campus a central part of Rauma’s life and brings additional vitality and appeal to the city. The campus’s structures and spatial solutions are designed to serve future needs as well, such as growing user numbers and organizing various events.
Karin Kampus is an example of how modern architectural solutions can create a versatile and sustainable center that serves learning, sports, and culture. It is Rauma’s most significant project, supporting the city’s vitality and well-being in the coming years. The campus is not just a physical space, but also a gathering place for the community, inviting residents to exercise, learn, and enjoy the support of the community.
