General information
Natrium is a new construction that was completed in 2023. The house was built on behalf of Gothenburg University and designed by Kanozi Arkitekter. The building consists of two building bodies on seven floors and an intermediate atrium of approximately 28,000 square meters. Advanced labs, learning environments and offices are located around the atrium. Here, research is conducted in biology, environmental science, chemistry, molecular biology, marine sciences, geosciences and cultural conservation. The atrium accommodates study spaces and most works of art.
The name Natrium is a multi-level play on words derived from the element sodium, the connection to the word science through the initial letters and also to the atrium in the center of the house.
