The President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach will inaugurate the renovated facilities of the International Olympic Academy on October 17 at 16:30, in Ancient Olympia.
The event will be honored by her presence by Her Excellency President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou.
After the renovation that lasted more than a year and a half and was funded by the International Olympic Committee, the IOA is taking the plunge into the future, as it acquired new functional hospitality rooms, a new restaurant and classrooms, new sports facilities.
All underground and surface water supply and sewerage systems were also changed, while biological cleaning was also introduced. The change was made without any interference in the exterior of the plants that remained in their historic, first form.
After 18 months of work, the year that the IOA celebrates 60 years of life and operation, this unique educational international institution is ready to face new challenges and continue its work in a new era that will make it in the next seven years fully self-sufficient and more dynamic than ever before!
