Kista Science Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kista Science Tower in Kista is the second tallest building in Stockholm, Sweden, at a height of 117.2 m (156 m counting the antenna on the roof). The black cube on top of the roof is, contrary to some rumors, not meant to be the start of more floors; it is the top of the elevator shaft and space for the electronics for the antenna. The tower has 33 floors in total, three of which are below the main entrance level (mainly parking spaces).
Kista Science Tower was completed in 2003. It was the tallest building in Scandinavia at the time but was soon surpassed by Turning Torso, built in Malmö in 2004. It is still the tallest office building in Scandinavia.
The building is home to the fastest elevators in Sweden. They reach speeds of 5-6 m/s.
The building houses several technology and IT companies. It is next door to a large shopping complex and the metro station.
