The unfavourable first choice
Haus Zentrum needs to be renovated
The renovation project for the building „Haus Zentrum“ has the support of the Business Board of Examiners. But not unconditionally.
They changed the term “complete restoration” in the project plans to “renovation”. Therewith they gave the direction they want to pursue.
The neighbors have another proposal
In the meantime, the “Münz” neighborhood has their own solution: “It is possible to change the appearance of the building Haus Zentrum in such a way that it would fit into the surroundings and is worthy of the city of Zug” says the Münz neighborhood committee.
They find the planned renovation in their neighbourhood more repulsive than “the cure was worse than the disease” approach. The building never fit in the old city. The modern building with the reflective facade and jalousies was a bad forced decision in the first place and would obstruct the future for another 50 years.
