3.BJUT Gymnasium to Go Into Post-Olympics Utilization by Stages

At 9:55 a.m. of November 3, 2008, the freshman students of BJUT attended their optional course of badminton in the Beijing University of Technology (BJUT) Gymnasium. They were the first users for the gymnasium after the Olympic Games. The students were very excited about their course moving from the open-air badminton court to the indoor Olympic venue where the badminton games were held in the Beijing Olympic Games.

In August 2008, as the only Olympic venue located in the southeastern area of Beijing, the BJUT Olympic Gymnasium successfully served as the badminton and rhythmic gymnastics contest location for the Beijing Olympic Games and won high praise from all circles of society.

After the Olympic Games, the utilization of Olympic venues has become a public concern.

Beijing University of Technology (BJUT) Gymnasium was put into use by stages. The first step was that the warm-up venue became a center for cultural and sports activities for the BJUT faculty and students. Now there are 10 badminton courts for students¡¯ sports courses and training as well as for the training practice of the teachers of the Physical Education Department. The contest venue has been equipped with 5 badminton courts which are to be put into use one after another.

Apart from for the activities of the faculty and students on campus, the BJUT Gymnasium will also open to the public and for non-profit activities. The university has established a BJUT Gymnasium Administration Center for the overall planning, management and comprehensive utilization of the Gymnasium. The post-Olympics utilization of the Gymnasium is in full swing. There is no doubt that, in the near future, the citizens in Beijing can fully enjoy the pleasure of sports that the BJUT Gymnasium brings to them.
