The project is planned to be completed next year.
Uddevalla Municipality community building department head Kenneth Funeskog said: “Rimnersvallen Stadium is an important sports and health facility for Uddevalla and its residents.
“It’s also a key part of Uddevalla and its history, which is why we’re both pleased and proud to be modernising and developing ‘Vallen’ for the future, together with Peab.”
Earlier this year, Peab was selected by Swedish housing company Riksbyggen to build 46 tenant-owner apartments in Inre Hamnen, in Norrköping.
The building will be climate neutral and will feature a bicycle workshop and bicycle pool.
