Barcelona Opens Rebuilt Pavelló L’Illa, Doubling Sports Capacity in Les Corts

Follow-up works totaling €750,000 will begin within weeks to upgrade access, greenery, bike parking over four months.

Overview

  • Mayor Jaume Collboni inaugurated the municipal complex on Wednesday after a €16.3 million overhaul spanning roughly two years.
  • The facility now measures 4,300 square meters and is designed for about 1,000–1,100 users per day across school and community programs.
  • Two stacked sports halls rise above neighboring schools with reinforced acoustic protection to avoid disrupting classes below.
  • Architects Anna Noguera and Joan Carles Navarro incorporated motorized ventilation, photovoltaic panels and a low-energy climate system to cut consumption.
  • Programming includes handball, volleyball, basketball, futsal, rhythmic gymnastics and badminton, with school use in the mornings and clubs and competitions later.
