Planning application submitted for Lucerne School of Music
A planned central location for all institutes and facilities of the Lucerne School of Music is one step closer: a planning application for the new building has been submitted to the municipality of Kriens.
The institutes of the Lucerne School of Music (Jazz, Classical Music, New Music and Music Education), which are currently spread across four locations in the city of Lucerne, will be united under one roof in future. From 2019, the new building will house all teaching and practice rooms, the library, public concert halls as well as the workplaces of the directorate, administration and research. Construction is expected to begin in fall 2016.
The realization will cost around 70 million francs. It is being financed on the basis of a private investor model - with the Lucerne Pension Fund as the investor and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts as the user. The new building will not only promote the use of synergies within the university, it will also enable collaboration with partners such as the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, the city's music school, Lucerne Theater, the Lucerne Festival and the Südpol cultural workshop to be intensified thanks to the close proximity in Lucerne South.
