On 13 May 2022, the 30,000 sqm project The New Ångström Laboratory was inaugurated in Uppsala. The building was created to enable the Department of Information Technology to be co-located with the other departments at Ångström. But the building also opens up for collaborations with the business community and the city. The project also provides a welcome addition of modern research and learning environments to campus. The building was designed by the architectural firm PE Teknik & Arkitektur and construction began in the spring of 2018.
About Uppsala Municipality's Architecture Prize
Since 2020, Uppsala Municipality has awarded prizes for good architecture and sustainable solutions for buildings, public spaces or entire environments. The prize is intended to encourage developers and architects to develop projects to a high architectural level with good sustainability. The prize is intended to engage the construction industry and Uppsala residents in their work with a well-designed environment and to spark debate about the values that good architecture provides.
Uppsala Municipality's Architecture Prize will be awarded on 20 June and the jury consists of people from academia, Uppsala Municipality and urban developers in the business community.
