LUND, SWEDEN — An architectural firm is building a new museum powered by renewable energy in Sweden.

Danish architecture firm COBE has unveiled plans to build a science museum in the Swedish city of Lund that would be powered with solar panels on its rooftop as well as energy bicycles located on its concave roof by 2024.

According to the project's website, the building will mainly be built out of wood and will cover 3,500 square meters of floor space.

The second story of the structure will consist of a viewing platform and a patio.

The center of the structure will include a green urban space with trees, plants and other biodiversity. This will help in filtering out excess carbon dioxide.

The museum will consist of exhibition halls, offices and an auditorium for the general public.

The structure will be carbon neutral and will promote sustainability, according to the project's website.

The museum will be part of Science Village Scandinavia, a high-tech urban district in Lund, which is still under development.
