New cultural center in Aarau takes shape

In Aarau, construction work for the long -awaited cultural center, the Kiff 2.0, started. The implementation of this project was supported by 75 percent of the Aarau population, which shows a great encouragement for cultural life on site.

This ambitious project was possible through financial cuts, a successful crowdfunding of CHF 500,000 and overcoming an objection. After a phase of planning and preparation, the groundbreaking stitches were finally done last Friday.

The President of the Kiff, Gisela Roth, emphasized the importance of this cultural center for the identity and development of society at the ceremonial ceremony. She is looking forward to creating a center that connects generations and strengthens the cultural life on site.

The city of Aarau and the Canton of Aargau have also been committed to the project. The city representatives see Kiff 2.0 as a house that shapes the cultural landscape and will also shape in the future. The canton supports the construction financially to ensure that an important place for culture is created.

The architect Reto Robbi is enthusiastic about the upcoming design of the new cultural center. He speaks of an important place that will have a diverse cultural offer for the citizens of Aarau.

The construction work has officially started to open the foi 2.0 by 2026 at the latest. Project manager Manuel Egger informed about the upcoming steps, including the renovation of the building site load of the garage and the planned demolition of hay stage and garages.

The construction work will take place in the next two and a half years, with around 60,000 stones being installed. This cultural center promises to become an important place that will enrich cultural life in Aarau.

The opening of the Kiff 2.0 will not only be a milestone for the city of Aarau, but also a symbol of the meaning of culture for society. It shows how committed and alive a community can be when it comes to promoting art and culture.
