Positioned at the heart of the East Campus of China Agricultural University, this gymnasium fulfills a dual role as both an Olympic competition venue and a university sports facility. Its innovative yet understated architectural design blends seamlessly with the existing campus environment, optimizing and integrating the original spatial layout of the university. The main structure features a portal steel frame design with ample natural lighting. The main arena includes three wrestling mats. The auxiliary hall houses facilities for athlete rest and training. As a sizable indoor sports facility, the gymnasium was designed from the outset with post-Olympic usage in mind. After the Games, it became a versatile indoor sports complex capable of hosting a wide range of regular sporting events, including badminton, table tennis, gymnastics, fitness, volleyball, basketball, handball, and indoor soccer. The venue is open to both students and the public and also serves as a training base for national teams.
