City of Split Announces New Multipurpose Hall in City Center

September 4, 2019 – Split will welcome a new multipurpose hall for cultural and social events next year.

The City of Split has announced a competition for a new multipurpose hall for cultural and social content, which will be located in the city center. The hall should begin operating in the 2020/2021 season. The process began Monday through public consultation, according to the City. 

The hall is designed as a multipurpose hall and will be able to hold cinema screenings, theater performances, cultural and musical events, conferences and congresses. It will have an independent entrance via the main staircase from the outer space, it will be accessible to disabled people and persons with reduced mobility, and will boast a capacity of 168 seats.

The hall will be housed in an area of 435 square meters, in front of the police station building on the Croatian Brotherhood Square (Trg Hrvatske bratske zajednice), which the city purchased for construction years ago. However, this space intended for polyvalent use for social and cultural content has not yet been arranged or brought to purpose.

Given that there is an urgent need for additional venues and performing spaces in the city of Split, a decision was made by the City Administration, led by Mayor Andro Krstulovic Opara, to arrange the space and give it a purpose, according to a statement from the City.

The budget provided 3 million kuna for the center. This year, a design solution was made and created by the architectural studio Super Ured d.o.o. from Split. 

With this project, the City of Split opens a new scene in the city, which will surely offer an appropriate stage space for cultural and social events of local performers. It also opens space for guest programs that, due to lack of capacity, did not have the opportunity to perform in Split, because the existing stages are primarily in the function of cultural institutions – the Croatian National Theater, the City Youth Theater, and the City Puppet Theater.

The new center would offer unique opportunities to city institutions as well, and the plans envision its opening by the start of the next 2020/2021 season.
