The construction work on the dressing rooms, offices, control rooms, and rooms for sanitary needs has also been completed.

Part of the project included the construction of a plant room and a tunnel under the swimming pool, through which cars pass, part of the ring road of the complex.

It was also explained that the base is being prepared for the swimming pool which will be one of the highest technology and the iron pillars are being attached to which glass will be attached which will surround the entire swimming pool.

The swimming pool is of Olympic size of 5,000 square meters, with a wooden roof with a length of 44 meters as well as glass walls that cover 44 square meters on each side, and a depth of 2.2 meters. The length meets the requirements from the International Swimming Federation.
