| Abstract | This research attempted to study whether the interior design of the UP Gymnasium supported the needs of the UP Women’s Volleyball Team that trains there. The UP Gymnasium’s interior elements (space layout, enclosure, flooring, ceiling, lighting, thermal comfort, and acoustics) and the experiences of the volleyball players were studied to determine the users’ comfort. Through purposive sampling, eight (8) participants from the UPWVT were interviewed along with their head coach. A multiple case study design approach was utilized where data was gathered through personal interviews and observation. Data collected was analyzed using the User-Center Theory by Vischer, categorized under physical, functional, and psychological comfort. The results showed that the gymnasium was not able to provide physical comfort due to the lack of safety; functional comfort due to the environmental barriers; and psychological comfort due to the many distractions. The participants noted three interior elements most disruptive during training were (1) flooring, which exposed players to the risk of injury and restricted movements due to holes and raised nails; (2) space layout, which presented distractions and hindered the team from fully executing their actions due to the adjacency of other teams in training; and (3) thermal comfort, which made it more difficult to breathe and train during days when the temperature was high. For Coach, it was the human congestion and traffic, which was difficult for the team to adjust to because of its uncontrollable nature. Based on their experiences, suggested strategies were recommended for the gymnasium, supporting the UPWVT. In conclusion, the perspectives and participation of end users should be considered when interior designers design and plan sports facilities since they are the ones who are directly affected by the interior environment and are aware of the problems encountered in the facility. |
