KONE will equip Region Västmanland’s new emergency hospital in Västerås, Sweden, with 20 elevators to ease accessibility for doctors, staff and patients in the 75,000-m2 facility, set to be inaugurated in 2029, KONE announced on December 12. Built by Nordic construction company NCC, the new complex will be served by 15 MonoSpace® 700 DX machine-room-less, two MiniSpaceTM DX high-speed passenger and three Transit DX freight/passenger elevators. Elevator installation planning is underway, and the units are expected to be tested and ready in 2028.
