The invention relates to an aerated flooring system for use in athletic aren as or gymnasiums. The flooring system includes a top layer that provides a surface for the activities to be conducted on the floor. The system also includes at least o ne ventilation device. The ventilation device covers an air flow shaft within the flooring system, helping to prevent debris from falling in the air flow shaft, but allowing a ir to flow through the ventilation device. The ventilation device allows air to ventila te out of the flooring system. A support layer below the top layer provides support to the flooring system. A ventilation layer below the flooring is sized to allow air movemen t through the layer. The air flow shafts allow air to travel from the ventilation layer to the ventilation device. A base is below the ventilation layer and provides support for the flooring system above. A blowing device is controlled by a computer system that monitors the system using sensors. The blowing device can provide air circulation through the flooring system by creating air flow through the ventilation layer, through the air flow shafts, into the ventilation device, and out the flooring system. The aerated flooring system can also be adapted to existing conventional flooring systems without the need to tear u p andremove the old flooring.
