The building is embedded in the terrain, fully respecting the slope and a group of majestic oaks. Erskine also aimed for the building to have a playful feel, serving as a kind of relief from student life.
The main lecture hall is shaped like an amphitheater and is set into the slope. A gathering hall is also situated at the main entrance. The space of the hall appears grand, and the impression is further enhanced by its cylindrical roof. The library is also interestingly designed. Here, we find a contrast of a wide corridor (street), connected by a series of side corridors, and further countless reading nooks.
The building was completed at the end of 1997, and its architecture is characteristic of Erskine's work from that time. Simple, freely arranged geometry of masses, richly adorned exterior with raw bricks, deeply profiled ceiling panels, etc.
Stockholm University
You can reach the university by metro, on the red line. The stop is called Universitetet, and the journey takes about 10 minutes from downtown. Stockholm University is located on the outskirts of the city.
The area occupied by the university extends from the south part of Sveplan and is bordered to the north by the Bergian Botanical Garden. The land was originally used by the royal family for hunting purposes, later for agriculture and agricultural research.
Stockholm University is a large complex in the city and employs approximately 4,600 people, from professors to library staff.
The university has four main faculties – Humanities, Law, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences.
The university campus offers a wide range of architectural works "from historic to fully modern." Buildings have always been designed by the most prominent architects, a rule that still applies today.
The Stockholm campus further features a unique mix of old and new. From the old, we recall some of the oldest buildings – the Pink Residence (1817), the Yellow Residence (1883), the Green Residence (1886), Lantis (1902-07), and the Blom Residence (1837-38). All buildings date back to the period when the campus belonged to the Royal Agricultural University.
The campus is a place worth visiting. Here you will find representations of various developmental phases in architectural design and also differences in the works of individual architects.
Sveaplan - this is a "historic" building in the Bauhaus style on the outskirts of the university.
Kräftriket (The Crayfish Kingdom) - this is a majestic building made of red raw bricks from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The object has been completely modernized; the interior is new, but the exterior has been preserved. The building originally served as a veterinary clinic. It now houses several departments of various faculties.
Alba Nova Center - this is the Stockholm center for physics, astronomy, and biotechnology. Part of the center is the historic Raslagstull Hospital, which is used for practical training of students.
The Arrhenius Laboratories - the building for the departments of chemistry, biophysics, meteorology, genetics, and biology is designed in the style of modern Scandinavian architecture by Carl Nyrén.
Frescati backe: Frescati Hill - the building is located on a hill called Frescati. Originally, this complex was designed in 1940-44 by architect Gunnar Asplund. The building conforms architecturally to the modern architecture of the time and is made of dark raw bricks.
