Zoologen Opens New Labs and Offices in 2026 – Join Gothenburg’s Expanding Life Science Cluster
The historic Zoologen building, ideally situated between the University of Gothenburg and Sahlgrenska University Hospital, is set to reopen in autumn 2026 with newly renovated laboratory and office spaces. With modern infrastructure and a prime location on Medicinareberget, Zoologen is positioned to become a cornerstone of the city’s growing Life Science ecosystem.
Modern, Flexible Spaces Designed for Science
The new premises offer flexible units ranging from 100 m² to 850 m², designed specifically for Life Science companies. The spaces come fully equipped with laboratory infrastructure, including fume hoods, gas and compressed air systems. Tenants will also benefit from a range of shared amenities, including meeting rooms, a communal dining area, a café, and an on-site gym.
A Strategic Location for Innovation and Collaboration
Located at the heart of one of Sweden’s most research-intensive areas, Zoologen offers unique proximity to academic, clinical, and industrial expertise. The building supports both private and shared working environments, encouraging collaboration between startups, scale-ups, and researchers.
Tenants will be part of a wider community of Life Science actors, supported by nearby institutions such as Sahlgrenska Science Park, which promotes innovation through a variety of programs and partnerships.
Creating Spaces for Health Innovation
Sahlgrenska Science Park works closely with Akademiska Hus to create purpose-driven environments that support health innovation. Through initiatives like the Health Innovation Labs, the collaboration focuses on accelerating development, testing, and scaling of new solutions in real healthcare settings. Zoologen is a natural extension of this ambition — offering a flexible, collaborative setting for companies aiming to make a real impact on global health.[Read more about Health Innovation Labs]
Connectivity and Accessibility
Zoologen combines a tranquil, natural setting with excellent accessibility. The building is easily reached by public transportation from Gothenburg Central Station, and it offers car parking, electric vehicle charging, and bicycle facilities for tenants and visitors.
Positioned for Growth
Medicinareberget is undergoing a major transformation, with city planning allowing for up to 240,000 m² of new development. Initiatives such as Sahlgrenska Life and continued investment in the area are establishing Gothenburg as one of Europe’s most promising hubs for Life Science and health innovation.
Zoologen’s phase-by-phase move-in model, beginning in autumn 2026, allows companies to grow and adapt as needed within the facility. It is an ideal location for companies seeking to scale in a dynamic, research-driven environment.
