The research building to be erected will go under the name Neo. Karolinska Institutet's lease agreement covers just over 15,000 sq.m. and has been signed for 20 years. The length of the agreement is conditional on the government's approval. - We look forward to having a fantastic research building and are very happy about the collaboration with our new landlord. Neo is an important component in our strategy to raise the research premises to the highest international standard in both Huddinge and Solna, says Lennart Ilke, Real Estate Director at Karolinska Institutet. Hemsö and SveaNor have previously worked together on the construction of the Life Science property Technology for Health at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge.
