Hal22 Sports Complex in Utrecht Partially Collapses With No Injuries

Investigators are examining the cause, including whether rooftop snow played a role.

Overview

  • Occupants reported cracking around 19:00, prompting staff to evacuate before the roof and interior sections gave way.
  • Fire services deemed the structure too unsafe to enter and used a drone to confirm the building was empty.
  • Officials say a large section of the hall collapsed and there remains a risk of further failure.
  • Roughly twenty people had been inside; a keycard system helped account for entries and exits during the response.
  • Emergency operations concluded around 22:00, with the site transferred to the owners and Stichting Salvage for follow-up.
