Wihlborgs signs lease with Malmö University, which has been tasked with running police training in Malmö
Malmö University has been tasked with conducting police training in Malmö, starting in January 2019. It is now clear that the training programme will be located at the university’s former premises at Kranen 2 on Östra Varvsgatan in Dockan. At present, police training is offered at three locations in Sweden, and Malmö will now become the fourth location.
The premises will be redesigned to fulfil the requirements of the police training programme. This involves research facilities, firearms ranges and various practice environments as well as a garage for police vehicles. The premises will be ready for occupancy on 1 July 2019.
“It is positive for development across the entire region that Malmö University will now offer a new training programme that also makes a very tangible contribution to societal development. We are very pleased that we can contribute to the implementation of this programme. It also provides an extra element to the cityscape in Dockan, where workplaces, housing and education can be co-located and contribute towards high density and attractiveness in the area,” says Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs Fastigheter.
“The University has previously held courses in the building, so we feel at home there,” says Caroline Mellgren, Director of the police training programme at Malmö University.
“After a market survey of premises close to the University’s buildings, and after meeting various property owners, it was clear that Wihlborgs was the only owner that could fulfil our requirements in time,” says Mats Lyberg, Head of the Building Department at Malmö University.
