in Fana in Bergen. The assignment for the Bjarg Sports Club is a turnkey

young people in the district. We are very grateful for the assignment and look
forward to seeing the facility in full operation in just over a year," says

gymnastics, martial arts, athletics, badminton, dance, fitness, yoga and
strength training. When completed, the sports facility will include a handball
hall with 230 spectator seats, a basketball hall, an activity hall, a gym,
