The basement floor of Spot Youth Center will be closed
The condition of the premises in the basement of Spot Youth Center has been examined. Based on the investigation, no indications of microbial damage were found in the basement. However, the basement was found to have elevated moisture levels caused by rainwater and moisture rising from the soil, as well as structures defined as a risk structure in accordance with modern construction methods, such as a plastic mat installed on top of the ground floor and wood planks on the floors.
Even though no microbial damage was found in the object, we have made the decision to close the premises of the basement floor in order to improve the indoor air of the upper floors. We will make the necessary sealing repairs and remove the plastic mats from the basement during the fall. We also carry out the improvement of rainwater management and the sealing of the basement walls in the necessary parts. Regarding these, the schedule will be more detailed during the fall.
Air purifiers will be installed in Spot's premises to improve the indoor air on the upper floors. We will also do follow-up measurements of the indoor air on the upper floors after the renovations.
The young people of Äänekoski are getting brand new facilities in the next few years. According to the plans, the new youth facilities in the center of Äänekoski will be connected to the new building of the Koulunmäki school.
