Another unique facility being built by VIS Group in Yakutia, the Arctic Center for Epic Literature and the Arts, was visited today by participants of a federal press tour organized by the “National Priorities” autonomous non-profit organization. The complex on the shores of Lake Saisary will house the State Philharmonic, the Olonkho National Theater, and other creative teams.
Currently, the interior finishing and installation of engineering, theater, and concert equipment are underway in the 33,000-m2 building. Journalists have already appreciated the acoustics of the Philharmonic Hall, where musicians from the State Philharmonic conducted a performance for them.
Andrey Suslov, head of the VIS Group representative office in Yakutia, talked about the unique technologies and equipment of the center, which is slated to become the largest of its kind in the Arctic zone. “Over 350 people are currently engaged in the work. Escalators, eight of the ten elevators, stage mechanization equipment, and lifting mechanisms in the Philharmonic Hall have already been installed. Almost all finishing materials have been approved. We are beginning the installation of the cold thread of the façade and landscaping.”
Andrey Borisov, director of the Arctic Center, emphasized the special role of this facility for the development of national culture and public life: “The culture of the peoples of Yakutia and the Russian Arctic is at a turning point. This modern building, equipped with the latest stage technology, will give impetus both to the cultural and the overall socio-economic development of northeastern Russia and the Arctic zone, as culture is at the heart of all processes.”
Karine Zhamkochyan, a producer in the Information Broadcasting Directorate of the Public Television of Russia (OTR), who visited Yakutia for the first time, shared her impressions of the site. “Such a project is capable of attracting the attention of both young people and adults, as well as tourists not only from Russia but also from around the world. It will truly be a magnet,” the producer expressed her confidence.
The project is being implemented under a public-private partnership (PPP) agreement, with VIS Group acting as the investor and general contractor. The holding company has already built and commissioned 13 social facilities in Yakutia. All of these projects were created using PPP mechanisms and have made a significant contribution to the republic's development and improved quality of life.
