The Södra Climate Arena in Växjo, opened on August 30, has been designed as an energy-efficient and environment-friendly building.

“With the Södra Climate Arena, we have produced a concept hall which we hope will be a role model for the sports arena of the future,” said Södra chairman Christer Segersteén.

The hall is to be operated by Ready Play, fronted by Swedish tennis greats Stefan Edberg, Magnus Larsson and Carl-Axel Hageskog.

The centre features thicker insulating walls than normal and the elimination of thermal bridges
