The project proposal includes overhaul and reconstruction of one of the emblematic buildings in Smolyan — the building of the Municipal Cultural and Educational Center “Planetarium with astronomical observatory”. The introduction of energy-saving measures is envisaged — replacement of joinery, thermal insulation of walls and roof, replacement of heating, ventilation, electric and plumbing systems; replacement of flooring, cladding and coatings, according to the specifics of the individual premises; providing an accessible environment for people with disabilities and fire safety. Another very important part of the planned refurbishment of the Planetarium is the delivery of new modern and high-tech equipment for the star hall, as well as new equipment and furnishings for the observatory and the rest of the premises in the building. A second visitor centre is also envisaged to complement the services available to all visitors. The project will contribute to the development of the cultural institution as a modern center with opportunities for conducting various events and attracting new audiences.
