Laoshan Velodrome (老山山地自行车场)

The Laoshan Velodrome has a huge round steel structured roof that was built as a dome with a window at the center. The structure is beset in a polycarbonate board that yields good amount transmittance. This design ensures both its energy-saving ability and usage after the Games.

The Laoshan Velodrome is equipped with a very advanced lighting system. The anti-beam system, amid the angles of each lighting system, are different according to the tracks. Each track of the lighting system is curved to a specific degree.

The special design makes a well-distributed lighting system. After the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the velodrome was used as a training base for the nation’s olympic athletes. Since the athletic requirements for daily training were not very high, the window of the roof played a great role in providing special lighting.
