New Research Laboratory for Sherwin-Williams in Märsta
Sherwin-Williams is constructing a new research laboratory on their property in Märsta (Märsta 23:2). The facility will be positioned between the existing office building, production area, and Technical Center, allowing for future expansions (buildings 3 and 4).
The new laboratory will consist of two levels, designed for industry and laboratory operations, with adaptable spaces for future needs. The ground floor will house laboratories, offices, and staff areas, while the second floor will accommodate exhibitions and meetings for up to 150 people. The building will support approximately 60 workers, expanding from the current 35.
Design and environment
The building will feature concrete sandwich façade elements, with large glass sections for natural light in break areas and offices. The roof will be covered with sedum to manage stormwater. The structure is designed to meet sustainability certifications (LEED and BREEAM).
Parking and waste management
Parking spaces will be redistributed and expanded, with bicycle parking added. Waste handling will include recycling of paper, plastic, and hazardous materials, supporting the project’s sustainability goals.
The project’s gross floor area is approximately 3,970 m² and is expected to be a key facility for Sherwin-Williams’ research and development activities.
