After announcing our plans on Thursday 26 May, preparations for the demolition work were made on Monday 3 June. First of all, the former bicycle shed behind the sports hall was demolished and set up as a construction site. More than 40 parking spaces will be realised here at a later date.
In the sports hall itself, the floor was covered and also the stands, so that no damage could occur. After this was completed, the roof of the hall was taken off. Only the light fittings remained, making the total height of the future Esports Stadium 8 metres high.
All the gym equipment has been put away and the spaces under the bleachers have been cleared. This is the place of the future game studios and streaming studios.
Of the 4 dressing rooms, 2 will remain and 2 will be set up for the teams' dressing and preparation room. The entrance is also completely changed and demolished. The entrance will be 5 metres wide. The stairs still need to be removed as they will be moved. Several rooms have been demolished here to create one wide corridor. The entrance towards the hall itself has also been widened.
Upstairs, the old bar in the canteen has been demolished to make way for a new bar.
The remaining demolition work is expected to take a few more weeks and will be completed in the coming month. After that, construction can begin.
In the meantime, various discussions are held with suppliers, potential partners and vendors, who will be responsible for the interior design. A designer of esports internships from Poland is working together with our chief architect Ook! from Amersfoort, and with an interior designer, who has created a Visual Identity for gaming. The first partnership has been announced and other partnerships will follow in the coming months. Also, the first requests to organise events in the stadium have come in, which we are of course very happy about!
Finally, a vacancy page has been created on the site, to which we have received several applications in the past two weeks. From now on, every month a Monthly Report. Do you want to receive this via email, please let us know via info@h20.gg. Or follow us on our social media channels.
