Open house Vie, March 12 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Are you curious to see what the Vie building looks like inside, where you will soon be swimming a lane or playing basketball? Then come to the open house on Saturday, March 12, between 10:00 and 14:00. Registration is not necessary.

Vie is located on the former site of the Atrium Hospital in Kerkrade's city center. You can walk right to it from the Markt . Around the buildings a park-like environment will be created that encourages exercise.

The municipality of Kerkrade is now opening Vie to Kerkrade residents and other interested parties from the region for the first time. Work is still in full swing, but on March 12 you can already get a good impression of what the building will look like via two routes through the building. Unfortunately, not all rooms can be visited yet.

During the open house, you enter through the main entrance from the Martin Buber Square side. You walk from there to either the stand of the pool or the stand of the sports hall. Representatives from Vie will be visibly present to guide the public and answer questions.

But Vie is so much more! With Vie - Living on the Move, the municipality of Kerkrade aims to sustainably improve the quality of life of Kerkrade's residents and the region. Vie is focusing on healthier and more vital lives through numerous programs. The challenge is to close the health gap with the rest of the Netherlands by 25% by 2030. To this end, the municipality is working with many partners from Health, sports, social work, associations, etc. The building also houses the Vie Innovatie Hub Parkstad. Among other things, the results of the Vie programs are monitored there. New programs are also developed together with the partners.

The Municipality of Kerkrade, together with the Province of Limburg, City Region Parkstad Limburg and IBA Parkstad, is behind this project. Vie's buildings are expected to be ready in the second quarter of 2022. The sports hall and swimming pool will then be occupied by associations and the public.
