The project comprises completely rebuilding about 12,000 m2 and includes more places to study and larger meeting areas. In addition, the existing entrance to Universum and Aula Nordica will be joined into a single shared entrance. The purpose of the renovation is to create a modern and sustainable environment for meetings, studies, events, services and collaboration.

Akademiska Hus has placed high demands on sustainability, climate performance and reuse in the project with the goal of achieving Miljöbyggnad Silver and Miljöbyggnad Gold within climate.

"We're proud to have been entrusted with carrying out this project together with Akademiska Hus. Our experience in partnership contracts, together with our strong organization and our own skilled workers, gives us a good platform to deliver sustainable and qualitative results," says Susanne Hallberg, Region Manager Peab.

This project was preceded by a so-called phase 1 agreement where Peab was contracted to, with the customer, optimize the project with the right quality and handle risks and uncertainties. The project is now entering phase 2, which entails signing a construction contract.

Rebuilding Universum is a traditional contract in partnering that will start after the Summer and is expected to be completed in September 2028.

The project will be order registered in business area Construction in the second quarter 2026.
