Since moving in in December 2021, Uppsala's new city hall in 2021 has been reported as faulty over 100 times. Most of the reports concern inadequate ventilation and excessively high or low temperatures.


The new town hall consists of a new part that was built together with part of the building that previously stood on the site.

Something that Carl Ljunggren, director of property at Uppsala municipality, believes is the basis for the problems that have been discovered.

- As a whole, the building is also near-zero energy, which affects the temperature, he says.

Problems with doors

Even the entrance doors have created a lot of problems.

It is mainly about if they do not open and close as they should.

- The fact that it is a challenge is something we shouldn't ignore, he says.

On Saturday, the new city hall in Uppsala was inaugurated.
