Södra supplied a variety of wood products for the expansion of the visualization dome at Universeum, a science centre in Gothenburg. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam for the structural frame, Frontwood three-layer board for interior cladding, and cedar shingle panels that provide an aesthetically appealing facade.

Universeum’s expansion reinforces the focus on technology, mathematics, and digitalization, with an emphasis on visualization and artificial intelligence.
Gert Wingårdh, architect at Wingårdhs, designed the original building as well as the new visualization dome.
“Wood is increasingly emerging as a climate-smart building material. Universeum’s expansion has seen wood used in new and innovative ways. The most exciting aspect will be to see how the sphere itself—the visualization dome—is shaped by polygons. There will be fascinating effects with projections on the internal curved surface,” says Gert.
