In St. Petersburg, they chose the appearance of SKA Arena, which will be erected on the site of SKK

In St. Petersburg, the winner of the international competition for the choice of the concept of the facade of the sports complex was determined, which will be erected on the site of the former “SKK Petersburg”. He became the Australian Architectural Bureau of Coop Himmelblau. This was reported to the "Paper" in the press service of SKA Arena.

The organizers of the competition noted that initially the results were supposed to summarize in March, but the expert group needed more time to analyze each project. The press service also reported that the designers have already begun joint work with the architects of the bureau and manufacturers of metal structures of the facade and the roof-the production and supply of the facade and roof elements has already been formed.

The stadium is designed as the largest ice palace in the world. Its construction should be completed in the fall of 2022, and already in 2023 the Arena will accept the matches of the World Hockey Championship. The stadium is built under the concession agreement concluded in January 2020 between the Government of St. Petersburg and LLC SKA Arena.

In June 2020, a landfill of construction waste from the site of the destroyed SCC was discovered near the Gulf of Finland. The concessionaire said that laboratory research is being conducted there.
