Ashgabat had already been awarded the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in 2017, and this has now become a key focus of the project. The new complex developed by Arup and built to international sports federation standards, will provide a new focus for the country’s youth, sporting achievement, and the hosting of international mega games.
With contributors from around 20 Arup offices and external sub-consultants, Arup is providing architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, public health engineering and infrastructure design, including furniture, furnishings and equipment.
