The premises will be built on two floors, and they will have care facilities for around 300 children. The playground facilities are designed for 50 visitors. The outdoor area of the playground will be developed later as a separate project on an adjacent lot.
Completion in summer 2026
Construction will start with excavation, followed by the actual building phase. The aim is for the new facilities to be completed by summer 2026. The new premises will house the Myllytonttu and Puotinharju daycare centres, the Puotinkulma group from the Puotila daycare centre and the shift care unit of the Rastila daycare centre. The daycare centres will continue operating in their current premises until the new building is ready for use.
The construction work on the site will be planned to minimise disruption to the operations of the Itäkeskus Comprehensive School, which is located on the same plot. Measures will also be taken to ensure the safety of pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the surrounding area.
Work at the site will primarily take place on weekdays between 7 and and 18. Noise will be generated, particularly during the pile-driving phase of the building’s construction.
The main contractor of the overall project is Varte Oy.
