The sports center will open to users at the beginning of September.

Maintenance repairs were completed as planned during the summer.

The Imatra Sports Center will be opened on Monday, September 1.9st.

During the summer, maintenance repairs and measures to improve indoor air quality have been carried out at the sports center.

—Some structures in the building have been repaired and renovated, for example, the seals above the windows in the gym have been completely redone, property manager Heikki Varis Mitra from Imatra Rakennuttajata says.

In addition, a large amount of fibers and other dust has been removed from the roof structures.

"In some places, the dust was up to a centimeter thick in the structures. Removing the dust should provide relief to those who have experienced symptoms due to the dust problem in the premises," Varis says.

The new ventilation unit was installed on Tuesday. Installation work on the unit will begin today, Wednesday. If the unit cannot be fully operational before the sports hall opens, ventilation can be arranged using a backup system.

The maintenance work carried out will allow the sports hall to be used for the time being.

—The property is old and its condition requires constant monitoring, Varis states.

The swimming pool opened after the summer break at the beginning of August. Since the beginning of September, the swimming pool has also been open on weekends. Opening hours can be found from this link.
