Maybe you want to grab a bite to eat in the collective kitchen? Or sit down in the garden where some of the ingredients for the kitchen are grown, catch your breath, and enjoy the floral splendor? Or maybe you are one of the participants in one of the open classes where the public can attend some of the university’s lectures in the built-up amphitheater, which in the evening transforms into a concert venue.
This campus is a place characterized by flexibility, collaboration, and encouragement towards a sustainable lifestyle. Here, living environments organically merge with learning environments. Various aspects of social sustainability, the collective and the individual, strengthen each other. Here, there is an opportunity to collectively care for cooking and meal culture, experience nature integrated into physical environments, actively recover together, and create organic learning environments based on needs.
This campus environment is made possible through new ways of caring for and developing the place. This means new ways of making agreements, new ways of procurement, new ways of management, and new ways of collaborating between all the actors of a campus. A campus that has the capacity to house various types of environments, with physical spaces that support students in taking care of their mental health, and where several parts of the personal living environment can be shared with others. This is a place that inspires and educates through its very design and serves as a laboratory for the rest of society to follow and emulate.
