Q1 Youth Center Faces Uncertain Future Amid Renovation Debates
The future of Q1 youth center remains uncertain as key stakeholders discuss center renovation plans. The building, home to open youth work, cultural activities, and several community groups, urgently needs repairs. Two options are on the table: a full center renovation or a partial update to keep services running for now.
The Q1 center currently hosts the Multigenerational Center, Kindergarten Museum, and Folke Bernadotte Scout troop alongside its youth programmes. But its condition demands action. A full center renovation would cost around €9 million and take nearly three years, forcing the building to close for at least 12 months. The Folke Bernadotte Scouts strongly back this approach, calling Q1 an irreplaceable hub.
The next steps depend on the city’s December 2025 proposal. If a full center renovation goes ahead, Q1 would close for at least a year, disrupting services. A partial fix might buy time but would still require long-term planning. The extended contract ensures discussions can continue without immediate pressure.
