The American University in Bulgaria has launched a tender for an ambitious concept design that envisages the construction of a new large multifunctional sports facility, a project called the Students' Centre, which will be attached to the Skaptopara university campus.
The pool consists of a total of 18 Bulgarian construction companies who have submitted their application forms and have bought the appropriate documentation required for participation in the design tender which had a deadline of March 12 for the submission of all bids.
The second phase envisions the applications and the concept design bids, and these should be submitted by April 28.
The new multifunctional sports facility will be incorporated within the student's complex.
The construction company, which will be selected at the end of the competition, will be allocated the contract for the overall technical design. The future students' centre will expand on a parcel of 2700 sq m, deemed a large enough area to accommodate all the sports facilities inside, including ample capacity for spectators, but it will be a low-rise building, not exceeding 15m in height.
The American University in Bulgaria (AUBG) is behind the project. A university spokesman said that they expected the scheme to be successful and popular.
Currently, within the University campus there are two student hostels along with dormitories (a third is currently under construction) plus a new academic building and a library. The sports complex will accommodate basketball, volleyball and other sports as well as a spacious modern fitness centre. The Bulgarian company, Tilev Architects, built one of the university hostel a few years ago after won an international tender.
