NCC to construct new Faculty of Arts at University of Gothenburg

NCC has been commissioned by Akademiska Hus to construct the new Faculty of Arts
at the University of Gothenburg. The order is worth SEK 484 million.
“The various institutions of the Faculty of Arts are currently divided between
several different buildings. The aim of this remodeling and extension project is
to house the faculty in one place, thus creating more and improved work spaces
to help enhance interaction between students, lecturers and researchers,” says
Birgitta van Dalen, Regional Director of Akademiska Hus, Western Region.

The preparatory groundwork will begin in October. Remodeling and new
construction will commence in November of this year and are scheduled to last
for about three years. The project is being conducted in phases, which will
allow the faculty to remain in its premises during the construction period.

“In cooperation with Akademiska Hus, we will place strong emphasis on creating
energy-efficient premises using sustainable materials to ensure healthy indoor
climatic conditions. We will work together to achieve a Gold rating from the
Sweden Green Building Council for the newly constructed buildings, while the
remodeled premises will have Silver certification,” says Henrik Landelius, Head
of NCC Building Sweden.

The contract will be carried out in close collaboration with Akademiska Hus. The
working method is in line with NCC Partnering, a structured form of
collaboration where the developer, consultants and contractors work together to
solve a construction assignment. The method is based on an open and trusting
partnership, in which all parties share their professional knowledge throughout
all phases of the project.

The project was procured in 2013 but was conditional upon the issuance of a land
permit. The transaction will be registered during the fourth quarter of 2016 in
the NCC Building business area.
