BALEWADI STADIUM
Maharashtra’s largest Sports City was originally constructed within 153 acres of land at Balewadi, Pune in 1995 to host the National Games. In 2006, the entire complex was in the need of refurbishment to host the Youth Commonwealth Games, which were to be held in 2008.
Assigned the architectural design duties of this revamp, Shashi Prabhu & Associates went about the entire planning, construction and refurbishment, in a record time of 22 months.
From a relatively modest 53 acres, the development now spans 158 acres that covers an athletic stadium with running track, Olympic-sized swimming pool, a Velodrome, gymnasium, indoor hall, tennis courts, indoor badminton stadium, administration, kitchen and hostel buildings.
The Youth Commonwealth Games of 2008 were a grand success with all participating athlete contingents showering the infrastructure with praise and appreciation.
"The theme for the games was green. We captured the essence of this theme in conceptualisation, design and execution. The end result was extensive green architecture across the 158-acre campus."
