Renovation and refurbishment of the Halle Tony Garnier took place in 1999, this supported by Trizart Alliance’s feasibility studies on transformation system and specialized equipment. The purpose of the refurbishment was to improve spectators’ comfort as well as to better the reception area. The need of an easily transformable room has necessitated multiple stage adjustments as well as mobile and retractable risers, allowing different configurations. Loggia, storage facilities, infirmary, the reception hall, bars, cloakrooms, heating and air conditioning systems, as well as catwalks to access risers have all been refurbished, renovated and adjusted.
