The total cost of the project is Rs 49 crore, and it will have a total of 1.3 lakh sqft area with skill labs, sports arena, and administrative facility.
According to the current project plan, the basement will have parking and the centre office. The ground, first and second floors will have a skill lab each. The second floor will also have an auditorium. The third floor will be dedicated to indoor games and a gym. The fourth floor will have a multipurpose court for basketball, volleyball, and three badminton courts. "A total of 60,000 sqft is dedicated to the skill lab," Patil said, adding that similar regional centres have been completed in other parts of the state, like Kalaburagi and Davanagere.
The original project plan included a swimming pool and a guest house facility. "The swimming pool is removed due to cost and safety reasons," said one of the officials in charge.
