The Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council has approved a basic and execution project for the demolition of the west stand of the Acidalio Lorenzo Pool, along with the refurbishment of the resulting space. The project has a budget of €439,465.87, including the General Indirect Tax on Canarian Canaries (IGIC), and is expected to take four months to complete.
Mayor José Manuel Bermúdez emphasised the city's commitment to improving municipal sports infrastructure, stating, “We continue to advance in enhancing our sports facilities to meet the needs of athletes and the community. The Acidalio Lorenzo Pool is a key facility for Santa Cruz, and we want to ensure it is equipped to the highest standards.”
Bermúdez added that this approval marks a significant step towards realising an intervention that requires thorough processing and will enhance the spaces of this sports facility.
Sports Councillor Alicia Cebrián highlighted the importance of this project and the efforts made to ensure its progression. “Today we take an important step towards implementing a necessary intervention at the Acidalio Lorenzo Pool. The demolition of the west stand and the refurbishment of the resulting space will allow us to continue improving this facility and adapt it to current needs,” she said.
Cebrián explained that extensive technical and administrative work was necessary to ensure the project met all requirements. Observations made during its review have been addressed, including adjustments related to accessibility, the restoration of affected green areas, geotechnical studies, and budget adjustments.
The project, designed by Annika Schollin Arquitectos, has already received a favourable supervision report from the Sports Logistics and Infrastructure Section after overcoming the required technical corrections during its processing. With this formal approval of the basic and execution project, the City Council can proceed with the necessary steps to tender the works, which are expected to take four months once awarded and initiated.
