About the project
Hippos is set to be the number one sports and wellness hub in the Nordics, with the most innovative companies and cutting-edge research units in the field working together to create a new, internationally successful business.
Hippos centre will include spaces for some 20 different sports, such as track & field, gymnastics, martial arts, group fitness classes and ball sports. The sports complex will also house a day-care centre, restaurants and a shop. An ice arena centre will be created by renovating and expanding the existing ice rink, and three ice training rinks will also be built in the Hippos centre. Some 26,000 square metres of space has been earmarked for a science and business centre. An outdoor sports park for public use as well as 900 parking spaces will be built.
Fimpec’s role in the project
Backed by its strong local know-how and organisation, Fimpec will be responsible for co-ordinating the construction of the Hippos centre, construction site supervision, scheduling, procurement, cost reporting and implementation engineering.
Local cooperation
“Fimpec has strong roots in Jyväskylä, and we have built an experienced local project management organisation that is in charge of managing and implementing the Hippos project together with our client. As a local player, it is an honour to be part of a project that promotes the development of the Jyväskylä area and strengthens the local infrastructure. The new Hippos centre will be a significant regional hub with substantial value for society,” states Mikko Turunen, CEO of Fimpec PMO.
“We are pleased to announce the start of collaboration with Fimpec PMO. Fimpec PMO’s long-standing experience of managing major real estate projects, solid local know-how and local contact network will be crucial enablers as we take this project forward together with Hippos centre’s own strong organisation,” says Jouni Alho, Managing Director of Sepos Oy.
