Construction work at the Schüür concert hall
After almost 30 years of operation, Lucerne's Schüür concert hall is being renovated and extended. A new two-storey building will be added to the north and east façades. The city council has approved a special loan of CHF 4.12 million for the renovation and extension.
The Schüür concert hall was opened in 1992 before the Lucerne Culture and Convention Center was built. Over the past 30 years, the Schüür has established itself as a leading venue for rock and pop in the region and a platform for regional, national and international artists.
However, only minor alterations and repairs have been made to the building since 1992. Despite regular maintenance, renovation work is now necessary. At the same time, an extension is needed. A new two-storey building is to combine all the room extensions. This will be attached to the north and east façades of the concert hall.
The concert rooms on the first floor and upper floor are to be spatially and acoustically separated so that events can be held independently in both rooms. From an operational point of view, it is also important to improve the space available for artists, staff and guests inside and outside the building.
