Construction will soon be completed on the new Haukar sports hall

The last rafters of the new sports building are being assembled

Town councillors, representatives of Haukar (sport´s club) and representatives of ÍAV (construction company) celebrated together yesterday that the last rafters for Haukar’s new sports hall at Ásvellir had been formally assembled. The building was crowded and the atmosphere was good, as expectation for this multipurpose, heated sports facility is high. Mayor Rósa Guðbjartsdóttir, took the first dig at a formal ceremony, for this new Haukar sports hall on Monday the 12th of April 2021, the 90th anniversary of the sports club.  ÍAV is handling the construction and the project is on schedule.

Halfway through and the building is taking shape

Last week there was a celebration when the steel structure and all the concrete work was completed. Now the roof covering will be added, the building will be insulated and clad on the outside. About half the work is behind us and Haukar are starting to see towards the end of the project. The building is set to be operational as early as December and the sports club will be able to host top-tier practices and competitions. The ceiling height is maximum 20 metres and will seat upwards of 900 people. Although the emphasis is on football, the house will be multipurpose.

A dream come true

Haukar have long waited for improved facilities for their football team at Ásvellir and with the establishment of a magnificent sports building, that dream becomes a reality.  A new impressive sports hall will completely transform the entire Haukar facility.

Go, Haukar!
