Urban culture house town planning starts – residentsʼ meeting on 25.10.
The cityʼs urban cultural centre in Myyrmäki is one of Vantaaʼs flagship projects. The project consists of two separate buildings and an event square connecting them. The cultural centre project will be implemented in stages between 2023 and 2031.
In 2028, the Myyrmäki educational centre will be completed, which will house a youth center, an adult education center and a music school for cultural and leisure services.
The new building will be located next to the Myyrmanni shopping center at Iskostie 5. Subsequently, Paalutori Square will be renovated into an event square for outdoor events.
The transformation of Myyrmäkitalo building into an urban cultural center will not begin until 2028, when the Artsi art museum and the library, among other things, will have new, expanded premises. During the construction work, the services of Myyrmäkitalo will be temporarily housed in the new educational centre building. The cityʼs cultural center is expected to open in 2031.
The City of Vantaaʼs cultural centre project is of regional and even national significance. Locally, the goal is to improve the services and cityscape of the Myyrmäki center. The local detailed planning of land use will guide the design of office space and traffic solutions.
