It is a municipal institution of out-of-school education "Sports and Recreation Center", which is managed by the city department of physical culture and sports. The facility houses the gymnasium of the Izmail Children and Youth Sports School. The building was damaged after a shakedown attack on Izmail on the night of April 29.

Workers will dismantle the old roofing, gutters, parapets and patching, strengthen and partially replace the rafter structures, install waterproofing and a new metal tile roof, install windows, cornices and a drainage system.
