Peking University Gymnasium, architecturally nicknamed "China's Spine" (中国脊), is an indoor arena located on the southeastern part of Peking University in Beijing, China. It was constructed for the 2008 Summer Olympics and will host the table tennis events of the 2008 Summer Olympics and the Paralympics. The gymnasium is the first in the world specifically designed for table tennis.
The gymnasium has a floor space of 26,900 m², 6,000 permanent seats and 2,000 temporary seats. It is scheduled to be complete by August 2007.
On the morning of July 2, 2007, during the construction of the gymnasium, a fire broke out due to a welding accident. The fire was quickly extinguished and no injuries were reported. Construction was delayed by this incident.
