Sport facilities unit
The Sports facilities unit is a centre of expertise for building techniques and functionality, for commercial and spatial planning matters, and for the management and maintenance of sports facilities. It makes its knowledge available to both internal and external customers as well as to its partners.

The core areas of sports facilities construction range from outdoor facilities, sports halls, swimming pools and ice sports centres to sport-specific facilities. The unit also lobbies for exercise-friendly residential environments and is involved in developing municipal and cantonal sports facility concepts. It makes this knowledge available to others through its publications, advisory services and educational activities. In addition, the unit provides support for FOSPO's own building projects.
