Welcome to an innovative place where history meets the future! A new city district is taking shape near ESS and MAX IV in northeast Lund: Science Village, a new area focused on materials research and education.
Science Villageis located innortheastern Lund, at the very end ofKunskapsstråket. Thisnew 18-hectare districtis closely connected toESS and MAX IV, shaping its research-driven focus and complementingIdeon Science Park. Here, innovation and materials science take center stage.
Kunskapsstråket is a unique corridor for science, research, and innovation-driven businesses, stretching from central Lund through Ideon and Brunnshög all the way to ESS and Science Village. The goal is to create a sustainable urban environment, evolving through new buildings, parks, streets, cycling paths, and tram connections.
A natural meeting place
Location
The tram journey from the city along the “Science Road” only takes 15 minutes. The station is right next to Rydbergs Torg and the northern park, which will become the area's natural meeting place. The area has been planned to be accessible by bicycle and public transportation.
Traffic flow
The flow of people from the tram to the Science Center passes through the square and the park. Visitors to the region will be invited to research new innovations and scientific phenomena.
Meeting place
Rydbergs torg is the area’s natural meeting place for co-workers, visiting researchers and the public. People can have lunch, hold outdoor meetings, meet industry colleagues or simply relax.
Green spaces
Here you’ll find plenty of green spaces, charming al fresco dining, outdoor workspaces with rooftop solar panels and spaces for fun and relaxation. In the Vindarnas Park botanical gardens you can admire 30,000 plants from every corner of the world.
Space – one of our planned office buildings in Science Village
We’re building Space the middle of Science Village, right next to the tram station and only 15 minutes from Lund Central Station. A spectacular, iconic building with Scandinavian design in wood and glass.
As a leading property company in the Öresund region and a strong presence in Lund, we have a keen interest in the development going on in the city and in Science Village. We’ve been part of the project from the beginning, when we built the MAX IV synchrotron-light facility with Peab. It’s important for us to take part in the continued development. I look forward to the work on our projects that we’re beginning in Science Village, starting with Space, focused on sustainability, innovation and the continued development of the city.

The active office - Spektra
The innovation and office building Spektra will be Wihlborgs’ second building in the new Science Village city district in Lund. An active office building for innovation and meetings.
The area is managed by Science Village Scandinavia AB, a company owned by Lund Municipality, Region Skåne, and Lund University. Their mission is to develop the land and buildings while also working towards the establishment of a Science Center in the area, where the research conducted at ESS and MAX IV will be presented and visualized.
We are dedicated to the positive development of Lund. That is why we work closely with the city and other important players in the region. We help develop the city and take responsibility here, in all the areas we can. It is also important for us to create dynamic urban environments that work for everyone who lives and works here.
