The new gymnasium at the University of Potsdam has been used by sports students since November 2020
The new gymnasium has been used by students since the start of the winter semester on 2 November 2020. The building complex houses the gymnastics hall (1250 square metres) and two additional 320 square metre mat halls. The University of Potsdam has announced that the official opening is scheduled for spring 2021.
There are currently 1193 students enrolled on sports degree programmes at the university. The hall will also be used by clubs, “especially the gymnastics departments of SC Potsdam and USV”, according to the university. The Brandenburg State Office for Real Estate announced that the construction cost a total of 14.6 million euros – 3.2 million euros more than planned – “the continuing good order situation in the construction industry has caused these tender-related additional costs”.
