Renovation of the Alte Reithalle Aarau delayed
Aarau has had little luck with its concert venues. Now the conversion of the Alte Reithalle has been delayed due to an approved complaint about the tender. The planned opening date cannot be met.
The Administrative Court of the Canton of Aargau has partially upheld the appeal against the tender regarding the "Awarding of master builder work for the conversion of the old riding hall". The award decision was annulled and the matter was referred back to the city for a new decision, and the city council will examine the next steps in the coming days, including a possible appeal to the Federal Supreme Court. The renovation has been delayed. According to the city, the planned opening date cannot be met.
The Alte Reithalle Aarau has been used provisionally for theater, dance and music projects since 2011. Since summer 2014, Theater Tuchlaube Aarau has been responsible for the program and operation of the summer performance.
