Repurposing Stadhuis Gouda
The Municipality of Gouda intends to repurpose and make the iconic town hall on the Markt more sustainable. The project includes building and installation technical adjustments, asbestos removal, restoration of the west facade, stained-glass windows, and slate roofing. A heat pump will be installed to make the building gas-free, with a CO₂ reduction of at least 52%. Additionally, accessibility facilities will be expanded: a new lift, gender-inclusive toilets, and improved signage. The goal is to give the town hall a stronger social significance and strengthen the connection with the city, while preserving the monument.
