Arena Lublin – design description

Early design for the new municipal stadium in Lublin was created in 2011. Initial vision (option 1) was however questioned by city officials for aesthetic reasons and Estudio Lamela architects were ordered to redesign the bowl and make it more oval. Additionally during works decision was made to create more commercial space behind main grandstand, prolonging design works.

The ground is to be located on a plot after old sugar factory on Krochmalna St., which means only Park Ludowy will stand between new and old stadium, few hundred meters to the north.

Preparatory works started in December 2012, though construction itself is expected to start in mid-February 2013. The project is funded partially by European Union, with remainder covered by Lublin municipality.
