Construction to expand the Verne Global data center at Ásbrú in Reykjanesbær, Iceland, is well underway. In July 2024, Mannverk completed a 2,500-square-meter expansion phase, marking one of several planned phases for the near future. The project proceeded smoothly, thanks to close collaboration with the data center’s owners. Mannverk extends its gratitude to all partners involved for their excellent cooperation.

Verne Global’s Icelandic data center is known for its innovative approach, utilizing Iceland’s naturally cool climate and 100% renewable energy sources to create a sustainable, high-performance computing environment. This expansion supports Verne Global’s mission to offer environmentally responsible and scalable data solutions, attracting clients from various sectors that require energy-efficient computing at scale.

Work on the new bathing lagoon in Laugarás is moving forward smoothly. The exterior walls of the bathhouse and service building are currently being erected, and the next phase will involve landscaping the area for the lagoon and laying the foundations.

The lagoon has been designed with a focus on offering a diverse and immersive experience for visitors. Guests can enjoy a range of amenities, including hot and cold bathing areas, a sauna, relaxation spaces, and on-site dining. The lagoon will feature multiple levels, allowing visitors to descend from the upper pool to the lower pool through a unique passage under the water’s surface, emerging through a small waterfall into the lower pool.

The opening is scheduled for summer 2025.

The architects for the project are T.ARK, with engineering by Efla, and Hildiberg overseeing the lighting design. Project management is led by Þórunn Arnardóttir.
