Revised exterior design for Clay Hall unveiled
The City of Zürich has announced a significant investment of approximately 35 million euros for the renovation of the iconic Tonhalle concert hall. The project aims to modernize the facade, replace aging windows, and renovate exterior stairs without disrupting the venue's events during the renovation process.
According to recent reports, the city council has earmarked funds for operational support of the Tonhalle-Gesellschaft Zürich AG, which may cover part of the renovation and maintenance costs. A temporary increase of 1.75 million Swiss francs has been allocated as an operating contribution, suggesting commitment to the venue's wellbeing.
The Tonhalle, esteemed for its acoustics and cultural significance as the home of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, was initially opened in 1895. As a heritage-listed building, the renovation works will primarily involve careful preservation tasks such as facade restoration, window replacements, and structural maintenance.
Although the city hasn't disclosed the exact details of the renovation plan, given the Tonhalle's cultural significance, it's expected that measures will be taken to ensure operational continuity during the project.
