A Nordic Community Builder:<br />

Sweden’s biggest infrastructure<br />

project for research<br />

Max IV Laboratory, Lund, December <strong>2012</strong>: <strong>Peab</strong> has initiated construction of the second<br />

stage of what is currently Sweden’s biggest infrastructure project for research ever, the Max IV<br />

Laboratory in Lund. A gigantic super microscope will make it possible to study different kinds of<br />

materials and their characteristics down to their most minute parts. Together with professors<br />

from Lund University and the architect firm Snøhetta <strong>Peab</strong> has developed several innovative<br />

solutions to meet the project’s greatest challenge; vibrations. The microscope’s synchronous<br />

light is a fourth of a strand of hair wide and needs to be kept perfectly still. The project is a model<br />

of sustainable construction in Europe. The facility, which will open in 2015, will be an important<br />

place for thousands of researchers in the Nordic region and Europe making it an essential part of<br />

a new research community.<br />
