The office building will be 11,550 m2 with five floors. It is dimensioned for 400 employees, will have a garage with 60 spaces and a bomb shelter with room for 420 as well.

"It's fantastic that we with our local organization continue to expand Kiruna city center, this time with a new and aesthetically appealing office building for LKAB," says Susanne Hallberg, Region Manager Peab.

The LKAB mine's DNA has permeated the design of the new offices through details like making columns, railings and fittings out of steel to create a connection to the business. Hanging walls and protruding floors that mirror a mine have inspired the interior design of the building. The open plan landscape provides a variety of views in the activity-based office building. Natural material choices create a warm interior.

"The building will be a hallmark of Kiruna just like our current office building and a significant addition to Kiruna city center. Using materials we ourselves contribute to producing and reflecting our mine in the building's design is a beautiful thing that ties it to our history," says Magnus Backe, Kiruna Area Manager at LKAB.  

The project is a turnkey contract. Work will begin in early 2025 and is expected to be completed in 2028.

The project will be order registered in the fourth quarter 2024.
