Venue
Since 2012, Fontys School of Sport Studies has been located in a striking, modern educational building in the heart of Genneper Parken, designed to literally anchor sport and movement in the architecture. The building consists of large, open spaces, plenty of glass, and a central sports hall that serves as the heart of the building. Its location on Theo Koomenlaan connects the educational building directly to the surrounding sports facilities, allowing students to easily attend practical classes.
The building features 5 large gymnasiums, an indoor climbing hall, a theory wing, and pleasant lounges for students and staff. In addition, the educational program naturally makes use of all the surrounding high-quality sports facilities.
Historically, Fontys School of Sport Studies originated from the former ALO Tilburg and the Sport Science program from Sittard. With the merger and relocation to Genneper Parken, the program gained a future-proof location where education, research, and elite sport come together. The building symbolizes this development: light, open, and fully focused on learning through movement on the path to lifelong physical activity.
