Sport Academy is a newly opened, multi-purpose sports centre in Genestrerio, which opened its doors on October 15th, 2023. Flexibly available to affiliates, the centre wants to be a valid alternative to the existing, over saturated local gyms, with an emphasis on promoting sport and training young athletes.
The centre is made up of:
- Gym
- Gymnastics area
- Dojo (15x18m)
- 2 climbing walls 9x8m
The original 1996 building structure was guarded during construction, thus also contributing to the historical and cultural value of the project. The deconstruction was carried out by the Army in just a few days; then, the bearing structure and the gym interior were built with recycled wood from the previous infrastructure, with photovoltaic panels being placed on the two roofs.
Medacta for Life Foundation joined the sponsors of the Sport Academy project, with a view to supporting sport and promoting good health practices.
Medacta Int. and Foundation employees as well as My School Ticino pupils benefit from the agreements into place that allow them to use the gym spaces.
