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.
