A new meeting place emerges at Campus Skellefteå

Education and research play a key role in Skellefteå’s development and in its journey towards the target of 90,000 residents by 2030. A unique building is being constructed at Campus Skellefteå, where a range of different activities will come together. The building is scheduled for completion in 2027.

To the west of the library on Campus Skellefteå, a new, energy-efficient building is being constructed, covering approximately 8,000 square metres spread over seven storeys. The interior will feature open-plan spaces and large glass sections offering views of the Skellefte River. The building will be visible from various locations in Skellefteå, from both the eastern and western bridges to the riverside promenade on the north side of the river.

The new building will serve as a vibrant meeting place, test bed and laboratory environment for the electrification of society. Among other things, the building will house the Arctic Centre of Energy, a centre of excellence run by Luleå University of Technology, Skellefteå Kraft and Skellefteå Municipality.
As part of the municipality’s timber construction strategy, the project has high sustainability ambitions. The building will be certified to Miljöbyggnad Gold standard and NollCO2, and aims to use recycled materials to reduce its climate impact. It is also among the first to be certified under Miljöbyggnad 4.0 and is the first in Norrland to achieve NollCO2 certification.
