The council reopens the Svalbardhallen sports hall on 15 October

On Thursday 15 October the sports hall in Svalbardhallen reopens after a period of rehabilitation.

The first phase of the work was completed as planned, and the council looks forward to welcoming users back to an upgraded hall.

The council describes the completion of the first phase of the rehabilitation as an important milestone for Longyearbyen lokalstyre (the local council).

The work has gone as planned, and the council is proud to open the sports hall at the agreed time. The council is especially pleased to open the doors again and give tenants, teams, associations and other users the hall back.

Next week the council will mark the completion of the first phase of the rehabilitation. There will be a small marking to celebrate what has been achieved so far. An announcement will follow later.

Rehabilitation requires good cooperation, planning and effort from many. The council greatly appreciates the patience and understanding the users have shown while the work has been under way.

Although the completion of the first phase can now be celebrated, the work does not stop here. The planning and design of phase 2 are already under way, and the council looks forward to the continuation.

Above all, the council now looks forward to opening the hall again and filling it with plenty of activity and joy in sport.
