«As of today, not only the overhaul of the building’s ceiling, exterior brick walls, window blocks and doorways was completed, but also the pool’s basin was repaired with a complete restoration of the swimming bath, as well as waterproofing with protection of the reinforced concrete structure from corrosion. During the overhaul, the most modern standards for the construction of sports facilities were used,» the department said.
