The Zumikon Community Centre is the heart of the community as a central meeting place. Zumikon residents have been gathering here for four decades – in the leisure centre, chapel, parish hall, library, community hall and many other rooms, they find universal opportunities for exchange and cultural interaction. After more than 40 years of operation, the building complex now needs to be thoroughly renovated.
In preparation for the vote on the loan, all residents were invited to visit the old GZZ last Saturday and discover the plans for the redesign. The ‘renovation’ goes far beyond a mere restoration and refurbishment of the existing building. With targeted conversions and additions, the complex will be expanded into a diverse, modern community centre – for example, by converting the vacant ‘Güggel’ restaurant into an attractive foyer for the community hall, adding a new terrace on the roof of the community hall and upgrading Güggelplatz square.
