A secure building in the new Kiruna
Kiruna Police Station
When it became clear that the town centre of Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost town would move location due to external influences from iron ore mining, the police station was one of several establishments affected. Sweco was assigned at an early stage to design the new police station and has been the general consultant and prepared the tender documentation for a turnkey contract.

A modern and secure environment for critical societal activities
When the new Kiruna police station is completed, a modern, functional, and secure environment will be created for both visitors and employees. In close collaboration with the police, the four-story building with an area of 10,600 square meters has taken shape. In addition to accommodating a main entrance open to the public and facilities for police activities such as interrogation rooms, holding cells, a shooting range, and garage, there are also offices and a gym for the staff.
Architecture and design for secure buildings
Security has become an increasingly prioritised issue in all sectors of urban development as the threat level becomes more serious and security conditions tighten. With a holistic perspective, we can create secure properties that are also attractive and humane environments for both the public and employees, while protecting the operations.
