Description

Auto-translated from German

The Casino Frauenfeld is a significant venue with a central location directly at the Frauenfeld train station. The casino building was constructed in 1958 and designed as a multifunctional building. For several years now, it has become apparent that the casino no longer fully meets the requirements for contemporary event operations. Operational needs regarding space, technology, and workflows have changed, legal regulations and official requirements have been tightened, and various structural and operational elements require urgent renewal, meaning the casino building can no longer be operated as desired. The project is based on a feasibility study that recommends pursuing a comprehensive renovation. In 2025, the municipal council approved a total credit of CHF 19.5 million for the planned overall renovation. The voters of the municipality of Frauenfeld have approved the project credit. Based on the cost framework, the depth of intervention must be differentiated and prioritized. Structural interventions are particularly necessary for adapting escape routes and in terms of operational processes. The building technology needs to be renewed, and structural improvements are required. For operation, the required technical installations must be enabled, stage technology and systems replaced, and the space offerings for operation and catering adapted. User flows should be disentangled as much as possible. The renovation aims to secure operations for the next 20 to 30 years. For this demanding task, a lead general planner is sought through a selective procedure with two phases (Phase 1: Pre-qualification, Phase 2: Offer). This planner will assume overall coordination of the disciplines of architecture, construction management, structural engineering, and building technology, including the necessary specialists.
