"In addition to expanding leisure and sports options for students, the new space reaffirms the institute's commitment to the integral formation of young people, through an environment that encourages physical well-being, social interaction and sports practice, in line with the ideals of Don Bosco," said Fr Ilmário Pinheiro, the Rector.
The gym, which occupies a built area of 2,221.42 square metres, on a plot of 9,512.10 square metres, is a point of reference for the city of Parnamirim and a significant investment in sport and education. Contemporary architecture emphasises the connections between interior and exterior, with doors opening completely and gardens distributed around the structure. In addition, it offers a capacity of 824 spectators in fixed stands, with the possibility of accommodating an additional 452 mobile seats in and around the entrance area.
The system includes an official multi-sport field, toilets and changing rooms suitable for people with special needs, as well as an administrative room, a warehouse and a parking lot with 235 parking spaces, compliant with municipal regulations.
The infrastructure offers a modern and accessible space for sport.
The technological innovations of the Don Bosco Salesian gym include thermal and acoustic insulation panels, the use of natural lighting and the intelligent automation system that allows remote control of lights, gates and air conditioning.
“The work was completed in just seven months, after 11 months of project planning and development. With the official dimensions for the various sports disciplines, thermal comfort and fire-fighting system, the gym offers a complete structure for school and sports events, " explained the engineer in charge of the works, Thiago Pinto.
