This coming 5th September will mark one year since the St. J\u00f3 Wellbeing Centre was opened on the 2nd floor of the building, and all its spaces are currently available for hire. The City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur purchased the state's 85.1% share in the property at 41 Su\u00f0urgata in the summer of 2017, which previously housed St. Joseph's Hospital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New proposals for refurbishment and operational development<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ragnhei\u00f0ur Agnarsd\u00f3ttir was temporarily appointed in the spring as project manager and consultant for the running of the well-being centre, and for the past few weeks has been working on mapping out possibilities for the sensible development of operations in the premises. Ragnhei\u00f0ur has extensive experience in the business world, both as a consultant and a manager. She was the Managing Director of Individual Consulting and Communications at Tryggingami\u00f0st\u00f6\u00f0in from 2006-2016 and a management consultant at PWC\/IBM\/ParX from 2000-2006. Since 2006, she has run Heilsuf\u00e9lagi\u00f0, a consultancy service that works on improvement projects related to the well-being and success of individuals, companies and institutions.

The proposals include, amongst other things, the establishment of a special society to own and manage the building, and seeking tenders for the works required to bring the entire premises into use. There is currently a waiting list for spaces to rent in the premises, and there is a good chance that the building would be fully occupied quickly once it is completed. It is planned that council work parties will now work on tidying and cleaning over the summer, with the aim of making the building ready for further works, which are scheduled to begin in late summer.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; n\u00fdr verkefnastj\u00f3ri r\u00e1\u00f0inn N\u00e6stu skref \u00ed uppbyggingu \u00e1 L\u00edfsg\u00e6\u00f0asetri St. J\u00f3 voru m\u00f6rku\u00f0 \u00e1 fundi b\u00e6jarr\u00e1\u00f0s Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar sl. mi\u00f0vikudag \u00feegar sam\u00feykkt var a\u00f0 kl\u00e1ra framkv\u00e6mdir utanh\u00fass \u00ed sumar auk \u00feess a\u00f0 b\u00e6ta a\u00f0gengi og lagf\u00e6ra handri\u00f0 \u00ed stigah\u00fasi innanh\u00fass. \u00deann 5. september nk. er eitt \u00e1r li\u00f0i\u00f0 fr\u00e1 \u00fev\u00ed a\u00f0 L\u00edfsg\u00e6\u00f0asetur St. J\u00f3 var [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17555,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_breakdance_hide_in_design_set":false,"_breakdance_tags":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-frettir"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14301"}],"curies":[{"name":"WordPress","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
