The gymnasium building completes the top end of the Neo-functionalist primary school complex and its courtyard built between 1995 and 1998 according to a design by the architects Aleš Burian and Gustav Křivinka (04-1145a). The gymnasium is linked to the school through its north wing, but also has a separate entrance from the street as it also serves the public as the municipal sports hall.
As was the case with the school, the important “issue” was linking the new building with its immediate and more remote surroundings – the historical centre of the town, of which there are excellent views from the hall's elevated position. The designers worked with the mass of the building in order to prevent it becoming an “impenetrable wall blocking the view over the town”. Therefore, the upper part of the building, rectangular in layout, features a horizontal glazed strip, offering a large degree of transparency and giving a feeling of lightness. Thanks to this, a sufficient amount of natural light illuminates the interior.
The choice of material for the distinctive interior of the hall was influenced by efforts to attain optimal acoustic conditions. Therefore, the interior walls are constructed using non-traditional, slim bricks with circular cut-outs, originally used for loft floors. The ceiling, carried by wooden, rod and cable space trusses and concrete or steel columns, was then panelled with cement-fibre (Heraklith) boards. Not only were good acoustic characteristics thus achieved, but also a satisfying environment was created, something which cannot be said of all sports halls. Some art-historical literary sources even compare the atmosphere to that of Jožo Plečnik's Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord in Prague (1928–1932), with its characteristic brick walls and similar mode of overhead interior lighting.
