Totalrenovering for 315 MNOK

The project involves a comprehensive total renovation of the Zoologen building located in Göteborg for Akademiska Hus. The renovation is contracted as a totalentreprise to Veidekke, with a total contract value of approximately 315 million Norwegian kroner (MNOK). The construction work is segmented into two phases, with the first phase valued at around 112 MNOK included in the order reserve for the second quarter of 2025, and the remaining roughly 200 MNOK planned for the third quarter of the same year. Completion of the project is scheduled for autumn 2026.

15 laboratorier og fasiliteter

The renovation includes a complete overhaul of the building’s exterior appearance and extensive interior redevelopment. Inside, 15 fully equipped laboratory and office spaces will be created, ranging in size from 100 to 850 square meters, all furnished with full laboratory infrastructure. In addition to the laboratories, new facilities will be constructed to enhance the working environment, including a lunch café with a common dining area, meeting rooms, and a fitness studio. These updates aim to provide modern and functional spaces adapted to the needs of contemporary research and office activities.

Gjenbruk og strategisk beliggenhet

A key focus of the renovation project is sustainability and material reuse. Efforts have been made to repurpose materials from the building, with some of these materials being donated to local preschools and schools for their reuse. The Zoologen building is strategically situated on Medicinareberget, becoming part of an expanding life sciences cluster near Göteborgs universitet and Sahlgrenska universitetssjukhus. This prime location fosters collaboration and innovation within a robust research and academic environment.

Bærekraftig bygg for forskning

The project promotes the development of a modern, sustainable building tailored for life science actors within a vibrant research and education community. The collaboration between Veidekke and Akademiska Hus emphasizes effective project development and management, ensuring that the renovated building will significantly contribute to the campus by providing enhanced opportunities for industry and research. The expected completion date in the fall of 2026 will allow for occupancy and occupation by various knowledge-based tenants.
