The concept of the GCM Academy is to create a place dedicated to encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle for all ages. It is modeled after other Sports Villages built by major sports teams in Spain. This Village resides on 120 acres (48.5 hectares) and it is adjacent to an 80-acre (32 hectares) linear park. Within this park are grounds dedicated to three Sport Types: 1) Passive Sports grounds for biking, running, and strolling; 2) Active Sports grounds for playing organized games such as basketball, tennis, baseball, swimming, and soccer; and, 3) Professional Sports grounds designed to meet all the International and national standards for professional teams to practice.
It was calculated, in the table to the left, the overall density of the project is going to be 13.41 dwelling units/acre distributed over six (6) distinctive villages. each village is providing for all the daily needs of its citizens and in some cases for those of the region.
