for competitions and training in various
sports.
The Palace of Sports was erected
close to the CSCA Sports Complex.
Basketball competitions were staged
in its hall during the Games.
The Palace covers an area of 108
by 84 metres and is 27 m high. The
main audience hall of the Palace
measures 84 by 40 m with a height of
18 m. The stands, with 5,000 seats, are
located on both sides of the court.
Lobbies with cloak rooms are located
under the stands, lounges and services
in the basement. A scoreboard
was installed in the hall.
In addition, in the Palace there are
two training halls, each 36x18 m and
8 m high, 15 locker rooms with showers,
saunas, rehabilitation cabins, class-
84
rooms, utility spaces, and administration
offices, which were planned so as
to eliminate any mixing of spectators
and competitors.
Prefabrication techniques and industrialised
erection methods were
widely used in the construction of the
Palace.
Competitions and training in team
sports have been held in the Palace in
the post-Olympic period.
