The House of Sports building is designed to be one of the connecting elements between many faculties of the Latvian University and to create a lively and active environment in the new Academic Centre.

House of Sports integrates sports facilities with other elements such as academic spaces, community resources, and urban design. Its architecture is designed in harmony with the surrounding campus and urban environment to create a cohesive and functional space that meets the needs of both athletes and the wider community.
