The Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism and State Property issued a decision on the announcement of an Competition for the conceptual architectural design of a indoor swimming pool and a multi-functional sports hall in Pljevlja.
The subject of the Competition is the development of a conceptual architectural design of a indoor swimming pool and a multi-functional sports hall in Pljevlja, on the location which includes cadastral plot no. 19/6 CM Pljevlja, which falls within the scope of the „Spatial-Urban Plan of the Municipality of Pljevlja” ("Official Gazette of Montenegro – Municipal Regulations," No. 11/11). According to the plan, the area is intended for sports and recreational purposes.
The Competition objective is to obtain a functional and recognizable conceptual architectural solution that will primarily meet the prescribed requirements while achieving maximum alignment with all aspects specified in the competition brief. A key priority is the adaptation of the entire sports and recreational complex in Pljevlja for its intended use. The construction of the indoor swimming pool and the multi-functional hall is a strategically significant project, outlined in the Pljevlja Recovery Plan, which would significantly contribute to the town's development. This project is also part of the sports and tourism center, which includes accommodations for athletes, a sports hall, various sports fields, and the city stadium.
