Visit the worksite and see the construction of Sara Cultural Center in Skellefteå — a new site being built in the heart of the city. The building will, when opening to the public in 2021, contain two theatres, an art center, a library, and many public spaces for people to meet. The cultural center will become a melting pot for ideas and cultural exchange. It will be used by local associations as well as for international congresses — and for everything in between. It will host studios for local bands, as well as concerts with symphony orchestras from all over the world.
Functioning as the common “living room” of the city, the cultural center is sustainable in many ways other than using a renewable material. The building will act as a carbon sink, but also as inspiration, and to drive local development and innovation on many levels. The architects will guide you through its technical innovations and the implementation of their vision of a sustainable city development.
