China and Alcoa
The Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre,
in Jiangsu province, China, will be the
main stadium for the 10th National
Games in 2005 and is to become the
largest sports architectural complex –
with the most comprehensive func-
tions – before Beijing hosts the 2008
Olympic Games.
Occupying a total of 89.6
hectares of land, with 400,000 square
meters of floor area, the Nanjing
Olympic Sports Centre will feature
a main stadium, gymnasium, swim-
ming stadium, tennis center, news
center, and auxiliary projects, such as
communications, engineering, and
energy centers.
The designers of this state-of-
the-art facility, HOK Sport + Venue +
Event, the world’s leading public
assembly design firm, sought to create
an exceptional facility worthy of
being at the center of the world stage.
For part of the roofing of the massive
project, they tapped Alcoa Europe
Building and Construction for its
experience, expertise, and its ability to
deliver, in short lead times, Reynolux®
,
a unique prepainted product from
Alcoa that uses coil-coating tech-
niques to enable one or more coats
of paint to be applied. Reynolux is
known the world over as an excellent
multipurpose material for roofing,
façade cladding, and many indoor
and outdoor uses. It provides excep-
tional resistance against UV light and
protection against weathering for high
durability and long life expectancy.
The optimal adherence of its paint
allows the Reynolux product to be
bent into many complex shapes.
