New building with high sustainability goals
The construction of the office building A Working Lab became an accelerator for innovation – with 16 parallel innovation projects that drove the work forward with a clear climate and sustainability focus during the construction process.
During the construction project, A Working Lab became a unique place for innovation that challenged the traditional and experimented with the offices and learning environments of the future for academia, business and societal actors. At 12,000 sqm, the building houses both office space and coworking for up to 430 office workplaces. There are also conference and meeting rooms as well as restaurant Waste with a clear sustainability concept. The building is both public and private. Throughput is of great importance for creativity and for maximizing innovative clashes between people with different skills and backgrounds. The entrance floor is open to the university and Sven Hultins Plats, and the building was completed in 2019.
The building is certified Miljöbyggnad Gold and is based on a number of comprehensive measures and solutions. Among other things, the building has been equipped with resource-efficient solutions such as PCM technology for cooling storage, DC technology with battery storage and solar cells that contributed to the construction during construction and which today generate 150,000 kWh of environmentally friendly electricity per year.
To ensure as low climate footprint as possible, all material choices have also been made with great care. Among other things, the building's frame consists of cross-laminated timber instead of concrete hollow slabs, and a more environmentally friendly concrete, partly based on slag products, has been used for the basement level. Even the colour of the façade has been adapted to a colour without cadmium and which is biodegradable, and the climate impact of the material choices has been reduced by about 15-20 per cent compared to if more traditional materials used.
A Working Lab is also the test bed where we and the industry learned more about the digitalization of real estate. A digital infrastructure for the real estate services of the future was installed and tested in the building. For example, the building was scanned three times during the construction process, first the frame, when the installations and pipes were in place, and finally the finished building - with the aim of creating our first digital twin. In addition, sensors and various measuring points have been installed in the building to measure the degree of utilization of different surfaces, among other things.
