“The new cultural centre in Valsta is an important piece in the development of a vibrant town square and a meeting place for people of all ages. With an emphasis on sustainability and safety, and together with Veidekke, we are creating a location for cultural events that can make both Valsta and the entire Sigtuna municipality stronger,” says Åsa Aalto at Sigtuna municipality.
The contract comprises a newbuild over two floors of just over 2,000 square meters, which will include i.a. a café, library, art and premises for cultural events and meetings. The building will be erected primarily in wood, in accordance with Miljöbyggnad Silver certification levels. Production will be executed in line with Rättvist byggande (Fair Construction), and the outdoor environment will be designed in accordance with the BoTryggt2030 guidelines for safe and secure urban and residential environments.
“We appreciate having Sigtuna municipality’s confidence and look forward to starting the construction phase. Together, we will produce a cultural centre which is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable and will improve the quality of life of Sigtuna's residents,” says Mattias Uppsäll, project manager at Veidekke Bygg Öst.
Valsta's new cultural centre will provide a vibrant meeting place, offering cultural events, activities and services for people of all ages. The construction of a cultural centre is part of the Valsta 2030 development proposal and "Samhällsbyggnadslyftet", a cross-municipalities initiative intended to reduce and counteract segregation, and render the municipality more attractive.
