General Overview

Description of the renovation and its purpose

The purpose of the project is to renovate Prøvehallen and thereby turn it into a cultural centre with sports facilities such as a climbing wall, sports hall, etc. The net floor area of the renovated building will be 2500 m². This renovation will be realised in connection with the renovation of the building next to it, Ovnhallen, which will be converted into a school. There will be a lot of attention around the refurbishment of these two buildings as it is happening in an old industrial part of Copenhagen, that now will be completely reshaped, modernised and made into a new neighbourhood with its own identity. There are plans for large scale integration of PV-cells on several buildings in the area.
