Let us remind you that the construction of the Świętokrzyski Laboratory Campus of the Central Office of Measures began at the junction of Wrzosowa Street and Popiełuszki Avenue in Kielce in 2021. From the very beginning, the investment was carried out in cooperation with the Kielce University of Technology.

The Campus includes 6 laboratories (Acoustics, Time and Frequency, Mass, Length, Thermometry, Metrology Informatics), conference and educational facilities as well as office space. The Campus provides the conditions for collaboration between professional and innovative laboratory metrology and the economy. It offers a space for the exchange of technological ideas, using innovative measurement methods and the latest technologies. State-of-the-art measurement infrastructure and the minimisation of the impact of environmental conditions and interference, ensure measurement accuracy at the highest required level.

The value of the project in Stage I (phase I) amounted to PLN 185,700,061.93. The co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund was PLN 162,664,157.90.

The project is implemented as part of the Priority Axis I - Innovation and science, Action 1.1 Support for R&D infrastructure of the Regional Operational Programme of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship 2014-2020.
