Rejlers designs new premises for Uppsala University

Uppsala University is planning to build new premises for the university
administration in a beautiful location next to the Castle and the Botanical
Garden in Uppsala. Rejlers is part of a group of consultants which has been
commissioned by Akademiska Hus to design the electrical and telecommunications
installations for the office building.
Together with the local council, Akademiska Hus has developed a new local plan
for the northeastern corner of the Blåsenhus area where the office building will
be located. Rejlers won a tender as part of a general consultancy group together
with companies including ELU and Helenius. The architects for the project come
from the Danish architect firm 3XN, which had already been chosen after a
parallel assignment with four of the best architecture firms in the Nordic
region.
“It’s really great news that Akademiska Hus is demonstrating its continued
confidence in having us work with them on the design of the new office
property,” says Björn Dahlin, Assignment Manager at Rejlers.

The building is planned to be around 25,000 square metres in size with a
provisional moving-in date of 2016. At the moment the administration is based at
different addresses across Uppsala. The aim of the new building is to create
functional and centralised premises with a good working environment. Premises
which are easily reached by employees, students and visitors alike, and
accessible to everyone regardless of any physical disability they may have. The
requirements for architectural quality are also high.
