Veidekke ASA: To build innovation building in Lund's new Science Village

Veidekke has been commissioned by Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB to build Space

(Kunskapen 1) in Lund. Among the first in Lund's new Science Village, the

innovation building will house offices and laboratories, with occupancy

estimated to start in September 2023. The contract value of the collaborative

project, comprising two phases, is approx. SEK 168 million.

Veidekke's assignment involves new construction of a total gross area of 7,400

m[2], designed for office and research purposes. The "Space" project will be

built in Scandinavian style, with a hybrid frame of wood combined with green

concrete and green steel. To meet the strictest sustainability requirements for

everything from materials to energy optimisation, the building will be certified

in accordance with Miljöbyggnad Guld and NollCO2. "Space" will also be certified

to the WELL standard, which stipulates that special attention be paid to

employee well-being, in the form of air quality, acoustics, movement, nutrition,

mental health, etc.

"It is both inspiring and a great honor to be involved in the development and

construction of this building with Wihlborgs. This is a project that suits us

like a glove, with close collaboration and involvement, says Cecilia Eneberg,

project manager at Veidekke Bygg Syd.

The contract is included in the order book for the current quarter.
