Roofing work at the Social Sciences Building

We have now received the delivery of the new roof unit and have carried out preparatory work this week. Next week, we will begin on Tuesday by dismantling the old roof unit and performing preparatory tasks, followed by the installation of the new unit on Wednesday. Afterward, interior work will take place to restore the offices and the group room. The work is weather-dependent; should the weather deteriorate, we will postpone the installation.

Roofing work on the Social Sciences Building

Next week, we will complete the final preparatory work so that we can install the new roof element the following week—that is, week 43. Since the weather determines exactly when we can install the new roof—as it must not rain while we are opening up the roof and installing the new section—I will get back to you with more information at the end of next week.

LED lighting at the Natural Sciences Building

To create more efficient lighting, we are upgrading and switching to LED. In accordance with the new EU directives, which prohibit the import and manufacture of certain fluorescent and halogen lamps, we are taking a step towards a more energy-efficient and sustainable future by switching to modern LED alternatives in the Science Building.The work has now begun and will continue throughout the spring and into the summer of 2027. The lighting replacement has started on floor 5 and will then continue downwards in the property. There will be some noise impact, but it is expected to be relatively short-lived.There will also be some physical impact when the work is taking place in the corridor and office/lab. This is continuously coordinated with those responsible at Umeå University.If you have any questions, please contact Akademiska Hus project manager, Markus.hertzberg@akademiskahus.se
