Multifunctionality within old walls.
In collaboration with architects, consultants and the Canton's heritage conservation office, PORR renovated and expanded the ageing reinforced concrete construction. The Burgdorf market hall was originally constructed in 1931-1932.
Leaky ceiling panels and windows, damaged concrete surfaces, outdated technical constructions and facilities were all updated or replaced within the space of a single year. Moreover, the expansion of the restaurant area was also included in PORR's work package. The demolition of the attached building, originally used as a barn, made way for an attractive square between the market hall and the Sägegasse gymnasium.
