The project deals with the connection of two sport facilities: the Palasport (an indoor sport hall) and the Palaroller (a covered skate ring). Moreover it consist of the refurbishment and extension of the service wing of the Palasport. The existing structure will gain almost 200 mq surface and all changing and service rooms will be transformed in compliance to the regulations. The extension will continue with a 200 mq surface cantilevered canopy, allowing the skaters to make use of the Palasport facilities as well. It will also become a gathering point for the local youth, and a serve in summer when there are several events happening in the park.
