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 m2, designed for office and research purposes.
