These efforts include additional barracks, a logistics hub, medical facilities for defence personnel, and a coarse-flushing facility.  

Swedish Fortifications Agency project manager Per Falkgren said: “The military restaurant is another important step in our long-term work to provide the Swedish Armed Forces with suitable premises on Gotland.”  

Architect C.F. Møller has taken the lead on architectural and landscape design for the project while Rambøll is serving as the subcontractor.  

The construction process is planned as a turnkey project, with commencement set for this month. Completion of the facility is anticipated by November 2025.  

The project will be recorded in Peab's order books in the third quarter of 2024.
