University Sports Center Lodz

Finished steel construction mounted on 20m high pillars with the aid of a crane.

The University Sports Center in Łódź was planned as a multifunctional building consisting of a swimming pool, a sports arena with a special dedication as a venue for volleyball matches, a climbing wall and many other areas for sports activities.

With a built-up area of 11,940 m2, a usable area of 27,920 m2 and a spectator capacity of over 400 seats, the building meets the requirements for hosting international competitions.

In addition to a roof structure consisting of 56m-long spatial trusses and 13 partially curved trusses made of round tubes, Zeman SIN beams are used for the secondary structure.

The size of the main structure makes it necessary to assemble the individual components on site. The lifting process of the entire construction poses a particular challenge. With the help of a crane with a lifting capacity of 700 tons, the completely assembled steel construction will be brought into position on over 20-metre-high columns on bridge bearings. The lifting process is planned for this month and should take around 2 weeks.
