A completely transformed Marty hall

Beyond the event, this inauguration marks the culmination of a vast renovation and extension project. The Marty hall now has a completely renewed identity, inside and out.

• Capacity: 1,600 seats, with stands all around the playing area, which has been enlarged and now meets the most demanding approval standards.
• Viewer’s journey: upon entering, the reception hall offers a direct view of the grounds. Upstairs, a large ambulatory serves the stands and leads to a friendly space with a refreshment bar and a large protected terrace, a real living space during events.
• Modernized functional spaces: changing rooms, technical rooms, media spaces, partner stands, everything has been redesigned to improve comfort and visibility.
• Facade and architecture: the new facade, covered with a second metal skin, asserts the contemporary style of the hall and fits perfectly into the Barrou sports complex.
• Energy performance: better insulation, use of natural light, solar protection devices… the hall is part of a sustainable and comfortable approach for all.

This modern and versatile room will benefit both at the Arago de Sète and at the city’s schools, high schools and sports associations. But it is also designed for host various cultural and sporting events : boxing gala, badminton tournaments, major volleyball matches… in short, a new setting for the sporting and cultural life of Sète.
