Veidekke has signed a collaborative design and build contract with Higab to build a new cultural centre in Gothenburg's Bergsjön district. Construction work is projected to start in Q2 2020. The contract is valued at approx. SEK 100 million.
The three-storey cultural centre will house a library, exhibition rooms, music studio, black box, and study rooms for pottery, photography and textiles, as well as space for movie screenings and a party venue for up to 150 people.
"We are both proud and pleased that Higab selected us to build this important project. I am confident that our good relations and collaboration will contribute to a successful project and provide added value for Bergsjön," says Mattias Bylerius, regional manager at Veidekke Bygg Väst.
In 2013, following several years of debate, the Gothenburg city council resolved to build a long-desired cultural centre in Bergsjön. The initiative is part of "Program Bergsjön", which was developed by the Gothenburg building authorities and focuses on social sustainability and integration.
