Mirandola Starts Work on New Sports Center

Construction on a new one million euro multi-sport center in Mirandola begins on May 20, featuring dedicated spaces for bocce, archery, and roller skating near the local stadium on via Circonvallazione, AL BARNARDON reported.

The project consists of two distinct building volumes. A larger structure will house the main sports hall, while a smaller annex contains service areas. Designers engineered the entire facility to reach energy class A efficiency.

The ground floor of the service wing includes two locker rooms with restrooms, a referee changing room that doubles as an infirmary, and an entrance lobby. Funding for the entire development comes directly from the Comune di Mirandola.

The main hall measures 32 by 12.75 meters internally, with a ceiling height of 4.50 meters under the drop ceiling. These dimensions accommodate both the raffa and volo styles of bocce.

The indoor space also incorporates two official bocce lanes that double as indoor practice areas for local archery teams. Studio Pelliciari of Mirandola, Studio Lotti of Poggio Rusco, and industrial expert Andrea Veronesi of Finale Emilia designed the complex.

Workers will install a brand-new roller skating track behind the main building. Measuring 18 by 36 meters, the outdoor rink matches the footprint of the area’s previous track and complies with the rules of the Federazione italiana sport rotellistici.

A temporary business association formed by Plen Costruzioni srl of Bologna and Benetti Cesarino srl of Anzola dell’Emilia handles the construction contract. Work crews expect to complete the entire municipal sports hub by the spring of 2020.
