In the summer, a project to renovate the main building of Pitäjänmäki Comprehensive School at Viinenkuja 6 and build two new buildings to replace the existing extension will start in Pitäjänmäki.
The buildings will have around 50% more space than at present, and the number of pupils will increase accordingly. The multi-purpose building will house the 680-pupil Pitäjänmäki Comprehensive School and Daycare Taneli with space for 224 children. The Pitäjänmäki Library and Youth Centre will also continue their operations in the premises.
Special attention will be paid to hearing accessibility in the design and implementation of the buildings.
Operations to move to temporary premises by June at the latest
The premises currently house Pitäjänmäki Comprehensive School, Youth Centre, the after-school activities of Playground Nuoli and Pitäjänmäki Library. In addition to this, Daycare Mestari operates in the pavilion building on the site. All activities will move to temporary premises in June at the latest, with the library and youth centre likely to move already in the spring.
The temporary premises are located at the following addresses, and users will be provided with more information on them closer to the time of the move:
- Comprehensive school and youth centre: Hiomotie 5
- School physical education classes: Kutomokuja 4
- After-school activities: new Playground Nuoli (Nuolitie 5) to be completed in autumn 2026
