Roofing work on the Social Sciences Building

Next week, we will complete the final preparatory work so that we can install the new roof element the following week—that is, week 43. Since the weather determines exactly when we can install the new roof—as it must not rain while we are opening up the roof and installing the new section—I will get back to you with more information at the end of next week.

LED lighting at the Natural Sciences Building

To create more efficient lighting, we are upgrading and switching to LED. In accordance with the new EU directives, which prohibit the import and manufacture of certain fluorescent and halogen lamps, we are taking a step towards a more energy-efficient and sustainable future by switching to modern LED alternatives in the Science Building.The work has now begun and will continue throughout the spring and into the summer of 2027. The lighting replacement has started on floor 5 and will then continue downwards in the property. There will be some noise impact, but it is expected to be relatively short-lived.There will also be some physical impact when the work is taking place in the corridor and office/lab. This is continuously coordinated with those responsible at Umeå University.If you have any questions, please contact Akademiska Hus project manager, Markus.hertzberg@akademiskahus.se

Fysiologihuset- KBC Odlingshuset new emergency exits

new emergency exits will be built on floors 3 and 4 of Odlingshuset KBC-Fysiologihuset.Work will begin on Monday the 14th on floor 3. The new emergency exit will be at the climate chambers at the far end by the window to the east. The builder will start by making a temporary wall that will be tight so that when we make the hole in the outer wall, we can maintain the negative air pressure in the lab. After that, they will make the hole in the outer wall and install a new door. The work will mainly be carried out from the outside.A week later, on monday the 21st, the same procedure will take place on floor 4 directly above.The new emergancy exits can't be used until exterior stairs has been placed. That will be done after the removal of the scaffolding.If you have any questions, please contact me.Jon Söderqvist 070 697 62 19 jon.soderqvist@akademiskahus.se
