The new District Court is being built on Hemsö's property Grävlingen 28. The location in the city, in close proximity to the railway station, pedestrian street and restaurants and a clear location in the southern entrance to central Vänersborg corresponds well with the National Courts Administration's needs in the area. Occupancy will take place in June 2026.
"We are very happy to be able to develop the District Court in Vänersborg. This strengthens Hemsö's position in real estate for the judiciary. Fojab has great expertise when it comes to court buildings, which means that we can offer Vänersborg an extremely functional district court with high architectural quality," says Hanna Tengberg, project developer at Hemsö.
The courthouse consists of 6850 square meters and houses approximately 130 workplaces, 11 courtrooms, of which two are security rooms, security control with adjoining reception, public areas, staff office premises and transport and rooms for detainees. The building will be built with a strong focus on energy efficiency and is prepared for a possible future expansion in such a way that safety zones and flows are ensured.
"Courts are installation-heavy operations and we have built in flexibility that enables continuous development and updating. Securing the future of the building is also an important sustainability aspect," says responsible architect Kjell Adamsson at Fojab.
