Renovation works on the Stara Drukarnia on ul. Zwierzyniecka in Poznan at the back of the Sheraton Hotel have already begun. Thanks to EU funds and a 40% share of the Pro Design company, the Wielkopolska Design Centre will be built in the Concordia building which dates from the 19th century. Its main goal will be to improve the competitiveness of Wielkopolska businesses designing and producing original projects, such as furniture or furnishings. The co-financing will be granted on the basis of an agreement between Pro Design and the Wielkopolska Region Marshall?s Office.
Pracownia Projektowa Mariusz Wrzeszcz has won the tender for the architectural design. The project was consulted on with the City Monuments Conservator, because of the historic character of the buildings. The building?s mass will not be changed, and Stara Drukarnia will keep its 19th-century character. The general contractor for construction works is Mostostal Warszawa, Poznan branch, with the Euroklimat company from Poznan responsible for installation works and Mercury Engineering Warszawa, Poznan branch conducting electric works. The end of the renovation and construction works is planned for October 2011. |
