The water, heating, electrical and ventilation systems as well as Building Management Systems (BMS) were modernized. The stairs, stair railing and roof were fixed. The swimming pool basin was also replaced. As part of the investment, a photovoltaic installation was also installed, external lighting and sidewalks in front of the building were replaced.

Thermal modernisation of the Sports Centre falls within the MUL strategic directions of sustainable development and environment protection.  The Centre is actually the 19th building which has been thermally modernised by MUL within the last decade. Thanks to such initiatives MUL energy demand has diminished by 32%.
