Roland Garros renovation
Print Edition
THE planned renovation of Roland Garros, the home of the French Open, can finally begin after France’s highest administrative jurisdiction gave its go-ahead to the project.
The Conseil d’Etat said in a statement yesterday that it had overturned a court decision that had put the whole project on hold. Environmental groups opposing the extension claimed the construction of a new 5,000-seat court in the Serres d’Auteuil botanical garden would harm the vegetation. The botanical garden’s 19th century greenhouses, a few hundred meters from center court, host a large variety of tropical and local flowers. As part of the refurbishment work, the French tennis federation is planning to build a roof over center court by 2020. Roland Garros, in western Paris, is the smallest of the four grand slam venues. The 350-million euro (US$393 million) plan calls for an extension of the site from 8.5 hectares to about 13.5 hectares.
