Life science and the study of living organisms and life processes play a key role in addressing health and societal challenges. With the new Hagastaden neighbourhood in the northern part of Stockholm, the ambition is to create one of the world's leading ecosystems within the sciences. Forskaren is the heart of the area, bringing together industry, research, academia and the public under one roof. Here, the building opens up and invites people to circulate and socialise.
The 24,000 m2 building contains flexible work environments with large offices, co-working spaces and laboratories. In addition, there are recreational areas both inside and out. The round shape is interrupted by recessed balconies, which together with a large roof terrace are accessible to tenants. The ground floor is open to the public and includes two restaurants and an exhibition area.
