Mölndal has begun renovation of the roof and windows in the older part of the town hall and is adapting the ground in front of the entrance for better physical accessibility. The project started at the end of June and according to the schedule should be ready towards the end of November. Entrances are kept open, but noise and temporarily closed ground surfaces may occur.
What happened?
The work concerns the older part of the building. The roof and windows are renovated so that the house can be preserved and continue to function for the municipality's activities. At the same time, the ground surfaces at the entrance from the town hall floor are being adjusted. From week 33, temporary shutdowns are carried out when paving stones are relaid. Facade scaffolding is set up in stages, which means that the impact moves between different parts during the course of the project.
Location
Mölndal, Västra Götaland
Impact and significance
Visitors should be able to use all entrances as usual, but the municipality warns of periods of noise. The accessibility work concerns the physical route into the city hall, while the article does not specify exact slopes, materials or which accessibility requirements are addressed. People with special needs should therefore check current entrance information before a visit during construction.
Background
Mölndal's town hall was built in 1958–1962 after an architectural competition won by Åke Ahlström and Gösta Edberg. An extension was built in 1988–1989. The municipality emphasizes that the renovation must take into account the building's history. The source does not specify the project's budget, contractor or whether any operations are being moved internally. WUA therefore makes no assumptions about cost or cultural-historical conditions beyond the municipality's own description.
Latest update
The project is ongoing and the latest stated end time is the end of November 2026. From week 33, parts of the town hall plan are particularly affected by earthworks. The entrances must be open, but barriers may change during the various stages of the work. Visitors should follow signage and the municipality's later updates.
