MAY 2024The cultural venue becomes a housing issueThe "Les Ecologistes" group filed a motion on the lasting sheltering of the "young people of the Maison des Métallos" and homeless minors; that same year, the contribution to the institution rose from €2,000,000 in May to €2,235,000 in November.JULY 2009The open venue finds its cruising speedPhilippe DUCLOUX recalled an inauguration in November 2007 by Bertrand DELANOË after three years of prefiguration, put operating costs at €2 million as in 2008, the first full year, and announced the retirement of director Gérard PAQUET.JUNE 2007The project costs more by its completionAmendments reassessed the four works lots: lot no. 1, all trades (BACOTRA), went from €8,325,434.93 to €8,697,162.82 including tax, with the deadline extended to 30 September 2007 for the facade cleaning works.NOVEMBER 2005Birth of the structure that manages the venueThe Council created a personalized public agency (régie personnalisée) to manage the Maison des Métallos, approved its bylaws, set its initial funding, and appointed its director general: the structure that would operate the venue was born during the works.JULY 2002The City commits to transforming the buildingThe Council approved the principle of restructuring works and a studies contract; Christophe GIRARD summed up the stakes with "this place must be saved" and mentioned urgent safety works, while the steering committee had set four focus areas and entrusted the prefiguration work to Gérard PAQUET.JANUARY 1999Starting point: the sale and the requested pre-emptionMartine BILLARD asked the City to pre-empt the building that the Fédération C.G.T. métaux had had up for sale since June 1998; an inter-association collective proposed turning it into four facilities across 4,000 square meters, and the question notes that no City commitment had followed as of that date.2 more moments, 2004–2011
JULY 2011First adversarial review of the managementDavid ALPHAND disputed the financial management — "the financial floodgates are being opened on the Maison des Métallos to try to save a project in cultural peril" — and Christophe GIRARD responded with a €50,000 reduction of the deficit for the 2011 financial year.JULY 2004Open conflict over the venue's purposeOn the project management contract, Khédija BOURCART relayed the Comité des Métallos's concerns about the architectural plans and framed the conflict over the venue's purpose: neither a "little Opéra Bastille in the heart of Bas-Belleville" nor an "association garage."Same kind
