Athletes Environmental Chambers

Environmental Exercise Laboratory: For simultaneously acclimatising up to ten athletes in heat and at high humidity, as well as exercise at simulated altitude in a low oxygen environment.

Total Precision Cleanrooms Aust constructed the new Athletes Environmental Chamber and a PC2 laboratory for the $64m Learning Commons and the companion Exercise and Sport Science Precinct.

This suite of world class, high technology PC2 laboratories, containment Laboratories and a Heat chamber was built to accommodate five major disciplines underpinning Sport and Exercise Sciences, including: Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics, Motor Learning& Skilled Performance, Sport and Exercise Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Motor Control and Biofeedback.

Total precision cleanrooms Aust were engaged as a design and construct contractor inclusive of the various operating conditions including hypoxic, heating, cooling, humidity, and acoustics. Unlike most containment type facilities, we have built and designed, the front room faces needed to be fully glazed, whilst accommodating various room operating conditions such as cooling, heat and fluctuations in humidity. The doors had to wide enough to accommodate exercise equipment but sealed enough to maintain conditions. The room had to be long enough to accommodate 10 athletes or in the minus 30 room one athlete.
