Centro Paula Souza – Sports ETEC

The Sports ETEC, designed by architect Ruy Ohtake and located in Vila Maria, in the northern zone of São Paulo, is a large Community Center encompassing 76,700 square meters, on land owned by the State, resulting from the relocation of a favela and the reurbanization of the area. The project opens the community center to the public for sports and leisure activities, under the management of Centro Paula Souza.

In addition to the Sports and Recreation ETEC building, with a built area of 4,500 square meters, the Community Center also includes a bike path, sports courts, a BMX and skate track, facilities for extreme sports and tree climbing, a covered space for gymnastics and martial arts activities, table tennis, boxing, among others. These facilities serve as laboratories for students and may also be used by the community for leisure activities and sports practice.
