When sport revitalises
an urban space
Opened in June 2024, the Trieste Campus is a landmark example of sustainable urban redevelopment through sport. Covering over 5,360 m², the project transformed abandoned areas into multifunctional courts for tennis, padel, pickleball, basketball, and volleyball. Developed through a public-private partnership, the campus takes inspiration from U.S. university models by integrating sports with education and social growth. Mapei played a central role by supplying advanced solutions like the Mapecoat TNS Multisport Comfort system for outdoor courts and Ultrabond Turf 2 Stars Pro for synthetic grass.
