Status update courtyard B3

The work is going according to schedule and next week the foundation and excavation work will be completed. Until the holidays, curbs, slate, furniture and grass will be installed. When cutting stones and compacting soil, disturbing noise may occur. After the holidays, work with planting shrubs will continue before we inspect at the end of August. The mailing includes a schedule and work materials for the courtyard. The final design may differ from the produced work materials. If you have any questions, please contact project manager Björn Alenius. Bjorn.Alenius@Akademiskahus.se

Renovation of KBC Odlingshuset events in May

Odlingshuset (the building with the greenhouse on the roof) in the southern part of the KBC block is to be rebuilt. The greenhouses on the 5th floor are being rebuilt from the plastic shell to insulated exterior walls and roofs that will no longer let in natural sunlight. This provides a more controlled growing climate while saving energy. Most of the work will take place on the 5th floor, but we will also make new emergency exits and install structural columns on the 3rd and 4th floors which are in full operation during the project. During April, the Odlingshuset was surrounded by scaffolding and during the previous week the business had moved out and dismantling of fixed equipment could begin inside the premises on floor 5. The construction contractor is working on reinforcements in the basement on floor 2 in parallel with the demolition of the greenhouse on floor 5. When the contractor is ready, they will place columns on floors 3 and 4 in ongoing operations, which will cause disturbance. The day and time will be announced at least 1 week in advance.For questions, contact Jon Söderqvist 070 697 62 19 jon.soderqvist@akademiskahus.se

Roof measures Humanisthuet

The roof work to update the roof safety and repair damage to future-proof the lifespan is still ongoing. This week, sheet metal work in stage 1 was completed. Work is underway to move the guardrails and materials to the next stage and continue there.The schedule has been slightly delayed compared to before as we have had problems with both illnesses and deliveries, but the end time is expected to remain according to the original schedule. See attached for the updated schedule.While the sheet metal is being replaced, this will cause noise that affects and disrupts operations. These sounds, as the sheet metal worker shapes the sheet metal with a knocking sound, continue throughout the working days between 7am and 4pm.We hope you will be considerate of this.For questions, please contact:Andreas Vikbergandreas.vikberg@akademiskahus.se

Construction start courtyard B3

Construction work on the new courtyard will begin this week. The work will require machinery to be lifted into the courtyard by crane. Some elements may be experienced as disruptive, but they are temporary. The establishment will remain on the south side as before, where we will set up a mobile crane when lifting assistance is required. Otherwise, transport routes, cycle paths, garbage rooms and entrances will be kept open throughout the construction.During the project period 22/4-31/8, access to the courtyard will not be possible.
