The city of Riihimäki is planning to centralize the services of the civic college, the art school and the music college in the premises of Kalevantalo, i.e. the former trade school.

Mayor Jouni Eho proposes to the Riihimäki city council meeting on Monday, December 4.12.2023, 2028, that the college services, i.e. civic college, art school and music college, should move to Kalevantalo in XNUMX.

The mayor's proposal involves launching a project plan for the premises. In connection with the project planning, the repair costs of the auditorium wing of Kalevantalo would also be clarified and the renovation costs of Monari would be specified, which are estimated to be around 3 million euros. If the city council accepts the mayor's proposal for the transfer of college services, the council must decide on the service network again.

According to the previous service network decision, the university services, the textile mill and the Monari premises were to be located in the so-called To the university building. The city currently does not have a plot for a house.
