Weeks 15–16

Inauguration of information desk on campus

On 13 April, 11:45–13:00, we will inaugurate a new information desk on campus, linked to Future
Campus Luleå. Here you will have the opportunity to learn more about the project and what is planned
going forward. Representatives from Luleå University of Technology and Akademiska Hus will be on
site to answer questions. Coffee and refreshments will be provided.

Information about the exact location of the inauguration will be announced shortly.

Campus-wide

Filter replacement will begin in week 16 in Building A and will then continue successively in the
remaining buildings. Service of laboratory ventilation will be scheduled and carried out separately.

Outdoor environment

Parkkompaniet has started work on removing ice from ground drains as warmer weather is expected.
Overhanging snow and ice at entrances will be cordoned off when necessary.

Building A

Renovation of all toilets in the Alf building will begin on 7 April and continue until 5 June. Work will
start on the top floor (A500) and proceed downwards. Each floor will be completed before work
continues to the next. The estimated duration is approximately three weeks per floor, corresponding to
a total of approximately nine weeks. In corridor A1000 and in the culvert between Building A and
Building B, replacement of lighting fixtures is ongoing.

Door replacement is ongoing between Kideus and the 98 section (A1500 corridor).

Building Beta

The staircase leading up to the library will be closed on 9–10 April (week 15). Access is referred via
Building B, entrance B8. The closure is due to replacement of lighting fixtures.
In the Beta building, lighting replacement is also ongoing in the former library café and in the passage
between Building B and the Beta building.

Building E

A new door section has been ordered for the corridor at E130.

Pavilion Pussen

The modules that were previously in place have now been de-established. A new approach is
underway, and a new building permit has been submitted due to several changes, including that the
premises are planned to be used as lecture rooms instead of offices. The plan is to resume work and
begin new module installations preliminarily in mid-June

Road closures in connection with Future Campus Luleå

From May 1, 2026, Geogränd will be closed and groundworks will begin. The work includes, among
other things, the installation of sewage pipelines. Ongoing dialogue is being held with affected
operations regarding the implementation.

On June 1, 2026, through traffic on Laboratorievägen will be permanently closed to public traffic. The
closure is a prerequisite for Akademiska Hus to carry out groundworks, reroute underground utilities,
and construct new technical infrastructure and new buildings in the area. During the spring, we will
maintain dialogue with operations along Laboratorievägen to assess how the work affects their
activities.
