tainable buildings where people enjoy good living and working conditions. A particular focus lies on buildings for the health sector as well as special structures for science and education with high functional aspects. However, Sweco also aims to add to the well-being of patients, doctors and nurses, as well as scientists in their buildings. The architectural quality is designed to support the healing process, to create a modern work environment with a high quality of stay, and to inspire scientific work. Sweco’s hospital concepts thus meet the needs of the users with a specifically healing environment, while their laboratory buildings encourage scientific exchange. Current challenges for society at Sweco mean being part of important, bold and inspiring change. Urban areas that in the end become more resilient to phenomena such as floods, heatwaves and other extreme weather conditions are high on the list. Sweco projects are therefore based on sustainable building concepts from both an energy and building physics perspective and meet current climate and sustainability targets.
Sweco has made it their guiding mission to plan and design sustainable urban environments and rural communities for the future: “Together, we face the challenges of urbanization, explore the merits of digitization and make daily life more sustainable, safer and better.” www.sweco-gmbh.de
