Odlingshuset continued work after summer break

This is the last week before the construction on Odlingshuset (Greenhouse/cultivation building) takes a break. Construction resumes on August 3rd and then we have the following work on the agenda:We are starting the installation of the new exterior walls of the greenhouses. The wall elements are mounted to the steel frame with self-drilling screws, which can make quite a bit of noise.The new outer roof of the greenhouses will be insulated.The interior of floors 3 and 4 still needs painting and finishing after the holidays.The scarecrow will be up and running during the summer.In case of urgent problems in July, please contact Akademiska Hus on duty technicion at 070 510 10 02.For less urgent questions, please contact me at jon.soderqvist@akademiskahus.se and I will get to it when I return on August 13th.Have a nice summer!

Lead exchange Teacher`s House

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 KBC.The work has now begun and will continue throughout the autumn and until the end of 2027. The lighting replacement will start on floor 4 and then continue downwards in the property. There will be some impact in the form of noise, 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

Continued construction at KBC Odlinghuset

Work will continue for the next two weeks high and low.At the bottom of level 2 we finally continue to reinforce the foundation after a little problems after we were surprised by several sewer and stormwater pipes that were not as expected. It will be completed during the next week, (week 25).We still have work to do on floor 3. The pillars closest to the climate chambers need be made in two parts and joined together in place. This is done during week 25.A plumber is investigating where we can turn off heating and gas to place pillars closest exterior wall to the east on both floors 3 and 4. Any disruptions in gas are coordinated with Jan Karlsson on Fys bot and communicated that way out to the affected personnel. We count with shorter stops.Pouring of columns on floors 3 and 4 is carried out in week 26. This means that we cast with a small amount of easy-flowing concrete during each pillar. Then cleaning is carried out and restoration of surfaces.The steel assembly on floor 5 will be completed at the beginning of week 25. Regarding the steel assembly, I was incorrectly informed that it would happen without impact drilling but I later understood that this was not the case and that it probably has sounded quite a lot in Odlingshuset when steel beams have been attached to the concrete structure. I apologize for this misunderstanding.After Midsummer week 26 we start assembling roof sheet and it is also ongoing during week 27. The installation of the sheet metal will rattle but the indoor disturbance will be quite limited.Week 28-31 the site will be closed for summer during week 28-31. We from Academiska Hus and the building team wishes everyone a nice summer!
