In UMMC today for the first time they told how the ice arena will look. Directly on the site of the demolished TV tower, next to the sports palace for HC "Motorist" proposed to build a hotel, the JustMedia correspondent reports.. en.

The project at the round table in the presence of the Minister of Construction of the Sverdlovsk Region Mikhail Volkov was presented by the Director for Cap-Building and Investments of the UMMC Sergey Erypalov. He showed the audience three options: a strict conservative, sports and ice arena, "resembling a lump", using inclined surfaces during construction. For the time of performance of variety singers and symphony orchestras sports object will be transformed into a concert hall.

The former chief architect of the region Grigory Mazayev proposed to put the high-rise hotel south of the arena. To this end, he said, there should be a T-shaped bridge on Chapaev Street, and the entrance from the street of the Decembrists will have to be expanded.

"There is no tower and thank God! Those who survive, I can say one thing, if you saw how it fell, you would understand what it was made of low-quality concrete. Now we can build a plot of 4 hectares. And why on the axis of the tower south of the arena does not put the hotel, which would become a high-altitude axis? It would increase the attractiveness. Artists and hockey players would live right here, "he said..

The Minister of Construction of the Sverdlovsk Region, Mikhail Volkov, recalled that he had already proposed to use the experience of the United States and to make the light beam on the site of the tower as if it were a place of destroyed twin towers.

During the briefing, Sergei Yerapalov told reporters that he supports the construction of the hotel and never considered the tower "the high-altitude dominant of the city": ".

"Today this plot of land is a garbage dump with unfinished construction. In another way, it can not be called. To perpetuate the tower? What is there to perpetuate? And the fact that something vertical should appear on this place, the idea is correct. Hotel, stela, monument, ray of light. Anything".

The options for equipping the land plot on which the television tower was located were proposed for public discussion. Responsible for this appointed deputy head of the city administration Alexei Belyshev.

Recall that the top of the unfinished TV tower was blown up on March 24. The lower part was removed on April 1.
