The modern building that will be built in the city centre of Poznań at the intersection of Saint Martin Street and Skośna Street is expected to become a new symbol of the city. The facility will feature a spacious main stage that will be able to accommodate around 1200 people, a chamber hall with around 300 seats, a restaurant with a banquet room, a recording studio and an open foyer. An integral part of the building will also be the Water and Music Park that will enrich the urban space with environmentally friendly and accessible solutions.

- We would like the new Theatre facility to become not only a space for the highest quality plays, but also a space that is open for everyone, fully accessible for people with special needs, the so-called third place that everyone wants to spend their time in. This building will be one of the most technologically advanced facilities of this type in Poland - says Przemysław Kielecki, Director of Music Theatre in Poznań.

Apart from executing the construction, the scope of work of Dekpol Budownictwo will contain an implementation of a substitute design concept based on the Functional and Utility Program as well as alternative construction design and detailed execution designs using 3D BIM technology.

- The significant and dynamic development of Dekpol in recent years today allows us to take on such exquisite and ambitious projects as creating the new cultural hub in Poznań - says Mariusz Niewiadomski, President of Dekpol Budownictwo. Building the biggest music theatre in Poland, right in the city centre, is a logistical and technological challenge, but also a chance to be a part of the history of the region's development. We are thrilled that we can use the many years of our experience to construct a facility that will serve the citizens and will become a showcase of the capital of Wielkopolska.

The official handover of the construction site to the General Contractor and the introduction of the timetable of the works will take place on Saint Martin Street, on a day that is symbolic for the city - June 28th. The details of this event will be presented at the beginning of June.

The investment is co-funded by the City of Poznań, the Minister of Culture and National Heritage and the Poznań County. The base contract value amounts to nearly 375 million PLN gross, while the optional amount is approximately 116 million PLN gross. One of the options by which the General Contractor's scope of work may be extended is the execution of the Water and Music Park. The combined value of the execution with all the options is approximately 491 million PLN gross.
