Swedish model – properties for research and education

Akademiska Hus has an important mission – to provide universities with the right environments for their activities. Together with academia, business, and society, we develop long-term sustainable campuses. This is how we help strengthen Sweden as a knowledge nation. In total, we manage approximately 3.4 million square meters. We are fully state-owned and have a total market share of about 60 percent in our segment, and we own properties in a total of 15 university locations.


In Sweden, higher education institutions are in the vast majority of cases public authorities. Their task is to conduct research and education and work to ensure that research results benefit society. They will also plan for their future provision of premises, and Akademiska Hus will contribute with experience and expertise. There are over 200 property owners who rent out premises to colleges and universities in Sweden, but we are the single largest player in the market.  

Akademiska Hus in brief

This is our government mission

"Akademiska Hus shall own, develop and manage properties for universities and colleges with the main focus on education and research activities and conduct activities compatible therewith. The business shall be conducted on a commercial basis and generate a market-based return through a rent setting that takes into account the risk of the business. Akademiska Hus will work for the long-term sustainable development of university and college campuses. The company's focus includes the construction and management of student housing." The clarified assignment was established by the Swedish Parliament in December 2013.

Organization

We are mainly organised from three units: the project unit, the property unit and the technology and service unit. It is an organization that makes it possible to quickly and efficiently introduce successful solutions from one part of the country to another and thus be able to meet our customers' needs in a good way, no matter where in the country they are. Our local presence in the form of our property areas is also crucial.

Our national presence and our long experience in knowledge environments allow us to transfer good examples from one part of the country to another.
