The implementation of one of the largest investment projects in Cracow, the Sports and Entertainment Hall in Czyżyny, is set to begin in May this year. The roof and façade of the hall will serve as huge multimedia displays. Asseco Poland's specialists are to equip this building with electrical and telecommunication systems. The contract value will reach PLN 49 million (net of VAT).

 

The consortium comprising the companies Mostostal Warszawa SA (leader), Acciona Infraestructuras SA, Mostostal Puławy SA and Asseco Poland SA signed with the City Development Agency, acting as the project investor, an agreement for the construction of a sports and entertainment hall in Czyżyny, a district of Cracow situated between the city's downtown and Nowa Huta. Although the contractor was selected through a public tender already in July 2010, it took the Employer almost nine months to fulfil all the complicated procedures related to the project financing. The total investment expenditure will amount to approx. 300 million. According to the contract, the hall shall be constructed in 30 months of the agreement execution date.

 

This modern hall featuring numerous training facilities will meet the highest standards of functionality as required by international sports federations. It will provide the venue for music concerts, shows, congresses and trade fairs, and will accommodate over 15 thousand spectators. The whole complex area will reach nearly 967 thousand square metres while the main arena surface is to exceed 4200 m2. It will be adhered by a training hall with 3650 m2 in area, seating 300 persons and ensuring infrastructure for the organization of smaller events.

 

The urban and architectural conceptual design was chosen in an international competition that was won by Cracow's local studio Perbo Projekt and Modern Construction Systems of Poznan. The architects proposed a futuristic building with a streamlined shape. Its roof and façade will serve as huge multimedia displays to show the sporting events and advertisements. This will be the first such installation in Europe and one of the very few worldwide.

 

- We have been waiting a long time to sign this contract and are glad it finally happened. At last we may proceed with the project implementation. This is our next prestigious contract to equip a sports arena. Please remember that last summer we successfully completed our work on the multi-purpose Sports and Entertainment Hall located at the border of Gdańsk and Sopot. Currently, we are engaged in the modernization of the historic Centennial Hall in Wrocław – says Tadeusz Kij, Director of the Building Automation and Data Center Division at Asseco Poland SA.


As part of the hall construction project in Czyżyny, the engineers of Asseco Poland SA will set up all the internal and external electrical installations, including bilateral 15kV power supply, provide and install transformers, power generators, UPS devices, and connect all the technical and technological equipment. The arena's lighting system will conform to the requirements of HD television. Asseco Poland SA will also provide complete teletechnical installations and systems, including fire alarm, voice warning and audio system, closed-circuit monitoring television, access control, burglary and robbery signalization, roof structure monitoring, data transmission, WAN and telephone switchboard, satellite television, video intercom, central clock, automatic air conditioning and ventilation. All these devices will be integrated and supervised by central Building Management Systems (BMS) and Security Management Systems (SMS).

 

Furthermore, Asseco's specialists have been assigned a considerable task to install and launch gigantic LED Video Cube screens with a total surface of 177 m2. Four of them will be installed in the main hall, and one in the training hall.
