The two biggest and most visible construction activities at MTS Centre right now are the installation of the ice making system and the assembly and installation of seats. With less than four months to go before the opening ceremonies in November, there is activity at every level of the facility - inside and out - including construction work on the skywalk bridges, drywalling and painting in the main concourse and brickwork around the exteriors of the building. The number of workers on the site will continue to increase as the pace of fitting and finishing continues.
