Together with the initiative of the Progymnasium Continental Municipality of Vilnius, a gym complex is being built, which will house 3 basketball courts. The complex will be adapted both for the educational process and for high-level official competitions. Currently, 80 percent has been completed. All planned construction and contracting works.
“We have been thinking for a long time about how to solve the lack of basketball courts in the city. The option chosen makes the most of the available space and ensures that the infrastructure is used as efficiently as possible. After the completion of the works and the resumption of the educational process, physical education classes will be taught in all places during the day, and after its completion – non-formal education classes, training and competitions of professional and amateur sports clubs ”, he points out Deputy Mayor Valdas Benkunskas.
The complex will include not only three basketball courts, but also a gymnasium, changing rooms and coaches’ cabinets. Since the complex is also planned to be adapted for high-performance sporting events, changing rooms and other necessary infrastructure will also be installed here. During the match, the room will be transformed: only one or two squares will remain, and the telescopic grandstands will be deployed in the remaining area. During the competition, the hall must accommodate up to 1,400 spectators. The modern object will be multifunctional – you will be able to conduct competitions not only in basketball, but also in other sports. The complex will occupy a total of 4,200 square meters.
In order for the room to be fully prepared for the official match, its design was slightly adjusted. It was decided to redesign the lighting part so that the lighting level of the main basketball court would meet the requirements of the arenas of the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL). After the changes, the central basketball court will be illuminated with an intensity of 2000 lux. Due to these adjustments, the completion of the facility construction may be slightly delayed, but the construction and contracting works should already be completed this spring.
The building should also stand out from the outside. To increase green areas, alternative landscaping solutions will be applied in a relatively small space. The roof of the building and one of the walls of the room will be planted.
Most of the construction and contracting work has already been completed. The contract works are being carried out by UAB HSC Baltic, which has won the competition. The total value of the construction works is just over 5 million. euros.
In addition to this gym complex, this year the capital will also invest in several other major sports complexes. Already in 2021. Kauno st. the door must be opened by a rebuilt gym. The reconstruction of the sports field of the Žirmūnai gymnasium, the installation of the Pilaitė pool and the reconstruction of the Vilnius school health center will also be carried out. The renovation works of several educational institutions and the modernization of 11 sports facilities in the elderly are also planned.
