Renovation at Vilnius University – the Faculty of Physics, Šiauliai Academy Buildings, and a Dormitory to Become More Sustainable

Vilnius University is undergoing renewal – three project funding agreements have been signed for the renovation of three buildings: the Faculty of Physics building (Saulėtekio al. 9) and a dormitory (Saulėtekio al. 8) in Saulėtekis, as well as the Šiauliai Academy building (P. Višinskio g. 25, Šiauliai). The planned modernisation will reduce heat loss and emissions. These projects will contribute to Lithuania’s commitments in the field of climate change, which are important at both the national and European Union levels.

All buildings are set to undergo renovation works aimed at improving the physical and energy performance of their engineering systems. At Šiauliai Academy, the historic façade will also be restored, and a solar power system will be installed.

Upon completion, the modernisation will increase the buildings’ energy efficiency, improve their physical condition and ventilation systems, ensure greater comfort and indoor climate quality, and reduce long-term operating and maintenance costs. Reduced energy consumption in public buildings will lower the State’s energy expenses, and more efficient building systems will contribute to the goals of sustainable economic growth and the implementation of circular economy principles.

These projects are co-financed by the European Union.
