Kakha Kaladze, Mayor of Tbilisi, announced Wednesday that the renovation of the historical Sports Palace is to commence shortly.
The venue, primarily used for cultural, social, and sports-related events, is in an ‘unsatisfactory condition’ and requires considerable repairs. Planned renovative works include replacing or repairing floor coverings, seating, walls, dressing rooms, and VIP areas.
Special efforts will be made to preserve historically significant materials of the building, like its natural stone cladding, Kaladze noted.
The mayor also discussed plans to create a recreational space around the Palace to enhance accessibility to the nearby subway and add a parking zone. The goal of the project is to revitalize the area and continue to have the venue serving as a multifaceted space for diverse events.
