Renovation of Kippari Daycare Centre
Day care centre renovationsEspoonlahtiThe building is undergoing repairs to improve indoor air quality. From the list below, you will find all communication materials related to the building’s indoor air renovation.
During week 22, sealing work starts in the downstairs rooms 113 and 104 at Kipparin päiväkoti (Ruorimiehenkatu 7). The work downstairs is expected to be completed before Midsummer. Repair work continues after Midsummer in week 26 with sealing work in room 217 on the second floor. In the kitchen, the fresh air supply will be improved and the silicone seals will be replaced. A leak test will be carried out on the kitchen drains. In the upstairs mudroom, the sink will be replaced with a smaller one and more storage space will be added. The fastening of the exhaust ducts from the drying cabinets in the mudroom will also be checked. Vegetation will be removed from the areas along the walls. The ventilation ducts will be cleaned as necessary.
The subsurface drains were inspected with a camera at the beginning of May. Based on the inspection results, the operation of the pumping station will be checked.
All work will be completed by early August. The Premises Department will inform the users of the premises once the repair work has been completed. An information event on the indoor air issues at Kipparin päiväkoti will be held in September. The event is intended for both guardians and staff. Invitations will be sent in August.
Early childhood education activities will resume on 3 August 2026 after the summer break on both floors of the day care centre. The relocation arrangements for the downstairs groups will be carried out during the week following Midsummer (week 25), when the operations of Kipparin päiväkoti are merged with Merenkulkijan päiväkoti. For more information on the day care group arrangements, please contact Day Care Centre Director Anu Vartiainen or Day Care Centre Assistant Director Vilma Kavakko-Lehtinen.
