Luola Sports and Events Centre in Savilahti / Architects Davidsson Tarkela
The Savilahti Sports and Events Centre, located on Neulamäki Hill in the developing Savilahti district of Kuopio, Finland, transforms a former Finnish Defence Forces depot into a versatile multi-purpose facility. The centre serves as a connection between a new residential area and the heart of the district, acting as a gateway to the adjacent park and local amenities. Designed to accommodate diverse user groups—including schoolchildren, students, sports clubs, and individual citizens—the centre is also a versatile venue for large-scale events such as concerts, seminars, tournaments, and major league or international sports matches. In addition, it functions as a shared civic shelter for nearly 7,000 people, ensuring safety and preparedness for the district.
