The Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Gdańsk University of Technology starts cooperation with Olivia Centre

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

The cooperation between the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Gdańsk University of Technology and Olivia Centre – the largest business centre in Poland – strengthens the practical dimension of education and supports the development of modern competences in the real estate market. This is an important step for Gdańsk and the entire region, which gain new space to build highly qualified staff for one of the key branches of the economy.

 

The Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Gdańsk University of Technology has signed a cooperation agreement with Olivia Centre, one of the leaders of the commercial real estate market in Poland. The partnership is part of the consistently developed cooperation of the Faculty with the economic environment, especially in the area of the modern real estate market, investments and space management.

 

One of the most important effects of this cooperation was the support of Olivia Centre in the creation of the “Real Estate 5.0” study program – the only field of study of this type in Poland, responding to the changing needs of the market and the growing importance of competences combining technical, investment, analytical and management knowledge. Importantly, the first recruitment was already very popular, which confirms that the launch of the course was an accurate response to the needs of candidates. It is also an important and necessary addition to the scientific and training offer of the Gdańsk University of Technology. The partnership concerns not only the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, but also other faculties, mi.in Geodesy and Cartography and Civil Engineering.

 

The signed agreement gives students a chance to learn even more related to the realities of the commercial real estate market – says Emilia Miszewska , PhD, Eng., from the Department of Geology at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Thanks to cooperation with Olivia Centre, an important industry partner, students can better prepare for their future professional work, develop practical competencies and gain knowledge based on real market experience. Students can expect better adaptation of education to the current needs of the labor market and closer contact with the modern business environment created by Olivia Centre. They can also count on greater opportunities for professional development, building industry contacts and an easier start on the labor market. Our cooperation will enable students to participate in classes co-created by industry experts and to undertake internships and internships. It also gives access to joint projects, events and initiatives related to the modern real estate market, investments and business space management.

 

On the part of the Faculty, the agreement was signed by the Dean of the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, prof. Ph.D. Eng. Ewa Wojciechowska. On behalf of Olivia Centre, the document was signed by Bogusław Wieczorek, legal counsel and public relations representative of the management board of Olivia Centre.

 

Cooperation also has a broader social and economic dimension. For Gdańsk, it means strengthening the city’s position as one of the most important academic and business centers in Poland, which can effectively combine science with business practice. For Pomerania, it is an investment in the development of local staff and competencies needed on the regional real estate, construction and investment market. For the academic community, it is access to up-to-date industry knowledge, practical experience and new opportunities for students’ professional development. For the business community – a chance to get in closer contact with young talents, co-create modern educational programs and have a real impact on the preparation of future specialists.

 

As Bogusław Wieczorek, legal counsel and representative of the management board for public relations at Olivia Centre, emphasizes: For Olivia, cooperation with the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering is, on the one hand, an element of our policy of social responsibility and commitment to the development of the competences of Pomeranian staff, and on the other hand, an extremely interesting opportunity to expand cooperation with one of the most prestigious technical universities in Poland. We are open to various forms of cooperation, as part of internships and workshops, as well as education of students of the Faculty.

 

In connection with the signing of the agreement, we are starting a partnership that is to really connect the academic world with the practice of the real estate market ,” says Konrad Danecki, Director of Investor Supervision at Olivia Centre. As a person responsible for quality improvement activities and implementation of modern systems in Olivia, I see it as an opportunity to develop the competencies of future specialists based on real projects, operational data and experience in property management and modernization. I am particularly pleased with the opportunity to support the new “Real Estate 5.0” study program, which responds to the dynamic changes in the industry – digitization, decarbonization, ESG requirements and the growing expectations of building users. We want students to learn from concrete cases: from the concept phase and investment process, through environmental certifications, to operation, capex and financing – i.e. throughout the life cycle of real estate. I hope that together we will create a platform for pilots and implementations that will be of value both to the university and to business and the entire region.

 

Key trends of the labour market 2026 presented for the first time at the Olivia Centre

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

The labor market has changed and we already have a new reality in place? Nothing could be further from the truth. The changes that are yet to come are as significant as those that have appeared as a result of the pandemic. At the Olivia Centre in Gdańsk, Manpower Polska presented its latest report on the labour market, which shows that in the coming years, the key to success will be fast learning and flexible adaptation to change. The year 2026 will bring high expectations of employees, greater selectivity on the part of employers and the growing importance of qualifications.

 

At O4 Coworking (Olivia Centre), Manpower Polska presented the premiere conclusions from the “Trends and Remuneration Report 2026” and discussed 16 key trends shaping the labour market. The culmination of the meeting was a panel of experts with the participation of Labour Market Experts, which turned into a real discussion – with polemics and references to the report.

 

Among the 16 key work trends listed in the report were: redefinition of the roles of leaders and employees, as well as work itself, the increase in the importance of AI-assisted work and the use of automation. In the new model of work, there will be an increase in the importance of project work and a demand for employees who are quickly learning new skills. Among the key competencies will be readiness for quick training, the ability to use artificial intelligence and the possession of pre-industrial skills (problem-solving skills, cognitive flexibility, creativity, empathy, self-reflection and a high level of use of interpersonal communication tools).

 

These trends will be implemented in an environment of changing social norms. The coming years will bring a return to office work, but only until the generation currently accustomed to hybrid work begins to perform high management positions. A decline in confidence related to the decline in the prestige of leaders, geopolitical instability and the unpredictability of climate change will also be of great importance for the labour market, which will translate into job insecurity, increased unrest and political polarisation. The use of automation and artificial intelligence will result in pressure on energy demand, and this will increase the importance of personnel specializing in green energy sources and scaling systems that allow it to be developed.

 

The authors of the report also point to significant challenges related to changes in business models: the maturity of enterprises will increase the pressure on succession processes in companies. This will be done with the awareness of the talent shortage, demographic decline, decline in professional activity and, as a result, economic uncertainty. Changes in the labour market will also be influenced by the decline in the role of higher education and the lack of ambition and motivation to act as leaders. These factors will result in a decrease in the number of personnel aspiring to take up managerial positions and perform leadership roles, and will affect the possibility of intergenerational transfer of knowledge and skills.

 

The presentation of the report was summarized in a debate of labour market experts. As he points out, Magdalena Białek, Strategic Account Leader at Manpower the key factors that the HR environment in Poland currently lives by were at the center of the conversations: The participants of the debate devoted a lot of space to the role of IT juniors, the shortage of experienced specialists and the impact of labour market regulations, including internships and forms of employment, on the availability of talent. Attention was drawn to a paradox: with rare participation in formal training, Poles learn intensively on its own, which supports economic growth. Experts also emphasized that in the age of artificial intelligence, HR with the ability to verify competencies is more important than ever. The participants unanimously assessed the meeting as substantive and inspiring, and the number of references to “AI” symbolically showed the scale of technological transformation.

 

As Maciej Kotarski, director of Olivia Centre, and one of the participants in the debate, emphasizes, one of the most noticeable trends in office work is currently the growing pressure to implement artificial intelligence solutions: These processes move from the experimentation phase to become part of business operations. There are growing expectations that AI-based solutions will become a source of key competitive advantages. Software companies report that their customers have high expectations for AI implementations even when there is no real need for it in a given company. Investments in people with skills to build and operate artificial intelligence are increasing, although the accuracy of many of the models currently available is low for the time being, and the number of errors requires constant human control. At the same time, exchanges are handsomely rewarding companies that are able to effectively and visibly implement AI, e.g. by reducing teams and cutting costs. This is even hitting tech companies and the software services sector, where new tools are making work redundant that recently required months of work by entire teams. Where the reductions are not spectacular, the number of job offers for juniors is decreasing. This process is increasingly reminiscent of technological revolutions, driving huge capital expenditures on infrastructure, data centers, and computing power – emphasizes Maciej Kotarski.

We are starting spring cleaning in Olivia!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Spring is coming, so we are starting a large-scale cleaning in Olivia! In the coming weeks, we will systematically refresh and tidy up common spaces – green areas, patios, garage halls, shower changing rooms and infrastructure around buildings. Winter did not spoil us, so there will be a lot to do:) Check here, because more information about our activities will be presented here.

 

What lies ahead in March?

>

Cleaning up outdoor areas

 

From March 16 , we will start cleaning work on the outdoor area around Olivia’s office buildings. The works will primarily include the removal of road salt residues after the intense winter period and the cleaning of the entrances to the main buildings.

 

Of course, all activities will be carried out during the day, outside the morning and afternoon rush hours, to minimize possible difficulties. Building security will also take care of fencing off the area for the duration of the work, so that you feel comfortable and safe.

 

The estimated time of completion of all works is about two weeks.

 

Repair of the surface of the upper car park B


On Friday, March 20 , we will start repairing the asphalt surface in the upper car park B. The works will last until late in the evening on Saturday, March 21, with the possibility of extending them on Sunday, March 22.


To enable the renovation works to be carried out efficiently, the upper car park B will be closed to users on Thursday, March 19 at 7:00 p.m.

 

Please do not park your vehicles in the upper car park B on the indicated dates: from Thursday, March 19 from 7:00 p.m. to Sunday, March 22 at 09:00. Lower car park B remains at your disposal during this time. The entrance to the lower car park B will take place from Marii Janion Street (former Bażyńskiego). On the above dates, the barriers of the lower car park will be raised.

We park only in the lower car park B (green)

 

Entrance from Marii Janion Street, turn into Marii Janion Street from Grunwaldzka Avenue.

Cleaning in bicycle changing rooms



The next action will take place on March 26-28 (Thursday-Saturday) – then we will carry out a general cleaning and refreshment of the bicycle changing rooms.


 




We ask that all private belongings, such as shoes or towels, be hidden in your lockers by March 25 (Wednesday) at the latest. Items left outside the lockers will be taken by us and disposed of. 


 


During the works, the bicycle changing rooms will be temporarily closed. We ask for your understanding and patience. This is a temporary inconvenience, and the result, we hope, will be dazzling.


 




This is just the beginning of our spring activities. In the coming weeks, we are planning further cleaning and refreshment work in various parts of Olivia. We will keep you informed about the details, and there will be more specific actions, because we want Olivia to look as good as possible with spring.

Maltese Christmas Wafer at Olivia Centre. Become a volunteer!
		

			Posted on  by Katarzyna Halicka		

			


	

		


On December 1, 2025, Olivia Centre will host a special event – the Maltese Christmas Wafer  (Opłatek Maltański) –  marking the 24th edition of this festive gathering and the fifth time it will take place in Gdańsk, on the highest floors of Olivia Star. Each year, the event brings together several hundred invited guests. The organization of this exceptional celebration is an initiative of the Polish Association of the Knights of Malta.


 


The Order of Malta: over 860 years of tradition and over 100 years of helping those

The Order of Malta began its mission in 1154. In Poland, it has been providing aid to those in need for over 100 years through the Polish Association of the Knights of Malta. As part of its charitable work, numerous initiatives are organized – among them one of the most significant, the Maltese Christmas Wafer, which in 2025 celebrates its 24th anniversary.


 


The Maltese Wafer: History and Purpose

Malta from Kraków, with the support of His Eminence Cardinal Franciszek Macharski. Each year, the event brings together thousands of people in the spirit of Christmas, offering moments of joy, a sense of community, and material support to those facing difficult life circumstances.


 


This year’s edition

In 2025, the Maltese Christmas Wafer will take place in over 30 towns and cities across Poland. In addition to traditional Christmas Eve gift packages containing toys for children, food products, and personal care items, participants will receive emotional support. The initiative focuses not only on material aid but, above all, on shared time together — bringing companionship to those who are lonely or in need during the festive season. One of its most important aspects is creating a truly special atmosphere. For many guests, it is not just a Christmas Eve dinner, but also a chance to pause, breathe, and step away from everyday challenges. In Gdańsk, it also offers the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking views from the 34th floor of Olivia Star — the tallest building in Pomerania.


 


At the Christmas Eve table in Olivia, families with children, seniors, individuals living alone, and people with disabilities will once again gather together. The table will be filled with traditional holiday dishes, served to the sound of carols. It is a time spent in warmth and togetherness — filled with conversation, celebration, and a sense of community.








The Tri-City edition of the Maltese Christmas Wafer will take place on December 1, 2025, on the 34th floor of Olivia Star. The event will host several hundred guests in need from Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot. Olivia Centre will also welcome, among others, the Mayors of Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot, as well as His Excellency, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Gdańsk.

“Women’s Strength Is Strength”. Exhibition at Olivia Prime
		

			Posted on  by Katarzyna Halicka		

			


	

		
From 20 October, in the lobby of Olivia Prime, you can see a unique photographic exhibition “Women’s Strength”, whose partner is Energa. This is part of a preventive action organized by the editors of Dziennik Bałtycki, reminding how important breast cancer prevention is.


 


The protagonists of the exhibition are 12 extraordinary women who have been diagnosed with “cancer”, but have found the courage and determination to fight for their health and life. Their stories – captured in photographs by Agnieszka Marczak – move, inspire and give hope.


 


The exhibition can be viewed from October 20 to November 6 in the Olivia Prime lobby. On the façade of the Olivia Star building, on the first day of the action, a pink ribbon will appear – a symbol of solidarity and support in the October campaign dedicated to breast cancer prevention.


 


It’s an important reminder that health can’t wait. Early detection of cancer gives a chance for a complete cure, and regular examinations – self-examination, ultrasound or mammography – save lives.


 


Let’s stop for a moment. Let’s get to know the stories of women who won the most difficult fight. Their strength can be an inspiration for all of us.
