Questions and dialogue

Work in the first construction phase started in July. The first phase is planned to be completed in mid-October 2026. During this period the sports hall will be closed, while the other parts of the building stay open as normal.

This year's work is also an important part of the preparations for the next construction phase in 2027. The swimming pool and adjoining areas are then to be rehabilitated. This will mean closing the pool area, while the rest of the building is to remain available for activities and use.

There will be good opportunity to ask questions and give input during the meeting.

Everyone is welcome.
