It has been commissioned by Skandrenting, through wholly owned subsidiary SKR Spallation, to build the ESS Campus under an agreement worth approximately SEK475m (آ£40m)
The ESS Campus is adjacent to the ESS research facility, which Skanska is already building in Lund. Three buildings with a gross area of 20,000m2 will be built on the 40,000m2 campus.
“We are building for the future with high-end sustainability goals,†said آ Skanska Sweden district manager Jأ¶rgen Christiansson. The office building is targeting certification to the highest level of BREEAM, Outstanding.
ESS is a pan-European research facility that will be used in a number of research areas, including environment, medicine, food and materials. The plant is a neutron source, where researchers from around the world are able to study the materials of the future to understand how they are built and functioning.
“The ESS Campus is a part of the perhaps most interesting research project ever in Sweden,†said Skandrenting CEO Johannes Nyberg. “We are very proud and happy to be part of this unique event.â€
The ESS Campus will be completed by the end of 2020.
