Stronger together: National Sports Complex for differently-abled people

Abstract

In our society, differently abled people are often marginalized and experience depression. This has now become a significant issue for society that needs to be addressed and solved collectively. We can provide opportunities, such as jobs, proper education, and sports, to enhance their future. In this context, the Ministry of Social Welfare under the Public Works Department recognized the necessity to establish the first National Sports Complex specially for those differently-abled youth. The total area of the site is 15.5 acres. The site is located in Bank Town, Savar, which is quite accessible from all other cities, as well as the capital, Dhaka, and it's a river-facing site. With this sports facility, differently abled individuals will get education, vocational training, medical, accommodation, and other facilities. It will serve as a hub for promoting Paralympic sports around the country. For design purposes, we must ensure the design process for those specialized individuals with all their specialized needs.
