Project description
The renovation and expansion of the Urania Hall in Olsztyn is a significant project aimed at modernizing the city’s key sports and event venue. The primary reason for this extensive overhaul is to address the outdated infrastructure and to meet contemporary standards for sports facilities. The renovation includes increasing the seating capacity to accommodate nearly 4,000 spectators, adding a smaller hall, an underground parking lot, and a covered ice rink. The upgraded Urania Hall will not only host a variety of sports events, such as volleyball, basketball, and handball, but also cultural and entertainment events, making it a versatile hub for the community.
