Dubrovnik Invests in School Sports: New €4.9 Million Sports Hall for Orašac Primary School Set for 2025

Written by  Nov 05, 2024

After constructing a sports hall within Montovjerna Primary School and fully renovating the halls of Lapad Primary School and Marina Getaldić Primary School, the City of Dubrovnik continues to invest in school sports facilities, which play a significant role in the city's sports infrastructure.

Construction of the sports hall at Antun Masle Primary School in Orašac is set to begin in the second half of 2025. The total project value is 4,902,313.03 euros, with the hall’s construction co-financed by European grants amounting to 2,443,698.49 euros.

The Ministry of Science, Education, and Youth approved the funding as part of the project selection process under the call for grants titled "Construction, Reconstruction, and Equipping of Primary Schools for Single-Shift and All-Day Schooling." The funds are secured within Croatia's National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The new hall will be located north of the school building on the existing football field, with a connecting passage between the buildings. The Antun Masle Primary School sports hall will provide students with adequate conditions for physical education classes and will also be available for sports and recreational purposes outside school hours. In this case, a new entrance will allow access to the hall without entering the main school building. To create the connecting passage, the teachers' room will be relocated to a new part of the building forming a hallway between the school and the hall. The total gross construction area of the planned extension is 1,354.42 square meters.

The construction of the sports hall in Orašac marks a continuation of investments in Dubrovnik’s long-overlooked sports infrastructure, an initiative this city administration launched with the adoption of the Sports Development and Infrastructure Strategy through 2028.
