The cantonal referendum «New building for the BBZ vocational training center in Solothurn; Approval of a commitment loan » was a referendum in the Swiss canton of Solothurn that took place on March 11, 2012. The content of the vote is the approval of a commitment loan of CHF 21.5 million for the construction of a new building for the Solothurn vocational training center .
Background and content
The BBZ Solothurn includes the three schools of the commercial vocational school (KBS), the commercial-industrial vocational college (GIBS) and the adult education center (EBZ) . The commercial vocational school has been located in a rented building since 1972, which no longer meets the requirements for both school lessons and security. As a solution to the situation, the renovation of the current property, the search for another rental property or the construction of a new school building were considered. The new building turned out to be the best option both for school lessons and from an economic point of view. For the new building, the existing GIBS workshop wing will be demolished.
The cost of the new building was calculated at CHF 29.8 million. After deducting the contributions from the federal government and the city of Solothurn , the canton will invest CHF 21.5 million. This referendum is used to vote for a commitment loan to finance this sum.
Voting result
All districts of the canton accepted the proposal. The proposal received the highest percentage of yes votes from the Solothurn district with 90.0%, which also has the highest voter turnout with 43.2%. The proposal was accepted with 79.4% yes-votes and 39.2% participation.
