Throughout the four-year construction phase at the venue, ProMetall acted as a project consultant and advisor for the new impressive façade. The expanded metal type “Celje”, made of aluminium, thickness 3mm, anodised, was used for the project. The imposing, anthracite-coloured construction defines the four-star UEFA arena which can hold 17,500 visitors, and lends the building a particular aesthetic look, making it very easy to recognise. The intention to revitalise and expand the long-established sports venue and to create a uniform look for the entire complex was successfully executed in professional teamwork.
The Generali Arena is Austria’s first sustainable football stadium, focussing on transparency, accessibility (barrier free) and energy efficiency. In accordance with the Austrian Sustainable Building Council’s (ÖGNI) international award system DGNB, the planning and construction phase was used to optimise the new football arena from an ecological, economic and socio-cultural point of view and make it a European showcase project. ProMetall is proud to have been given the opportunity to be part of this development.
