Åpnet til 600-årsjubileum

Kaunas Žalgiris Arena is a significant commercial construction project located on Nemunas Island in Kaunas, Lithuania. Initiated in 2008, the arena was officially opened on 18 August 2011 to coincide with the 600th anniversary of Kaunas self-governance. The arena boasts a capacity to accommodate 15,000 people, making it a vital venue for major events such as Eurobasket 2011.

Unike aluminium-profiler utviklet

KG Constructions Group played a crucial role in the project by designing and implementing unique aluminium-glass construction systems. In collaboration with Schüco Lietuva and architect Simas-Eugenijus Miliūnas, the group developed around 30 distinct aluminium profiles that met high architectural standards. These profiles, which weigh up to 300 kilograms each, were painted with a special color created by Swiss company IGP exclusively for this project, adding a unique aesthetic value to the arena.

8000m² energiglass-fasader

The construction involved glazing facades with specialized sun-controlling double-glazed units to enhance energy efficiency. The glass used in the building is exceptionally transparent, surpassing typical glass transparency, which further enhances the visual appeal and luminosity of the arena. The total area covered by the aluminium-glass constructions amounts to 8000 square meters, reflecting the scale and ambition of this landmark project.
