Information about the car parks from 1 January
From 1 January 2024, the University of Gothenburg hands over responsibility for the parking lots to Akademiska Hus on the Medicinareberget, Haga-Linné, Haga-Handels and Lorensberg campuses. What does this mean for me who has to park the car? Today's parking permit continues to apply until further notice. The goal is to find a digital solution and in the meantime the parking permits for 2023 run indefinitely. In 2024, no change will be made to the rates for parking. Please note that Easy Park now charges a service fee to use their app. If you use the Smart Parking app or pay via the web, you avoid the service fee. The EasyPark app can still be used, but keep in mind that these are new zones! In addition, you can pay with the Smart Parks app and on the web as well as SMS. Important about zone codes: P permit gives the right to a lower rate. To get the lower rate, add a 1 to the end of the current zone code. For example Viktoriagatan has zone code 11933 for visitors, to obtain the lower rate use zone code 119331. The signage will only show the zone code for visitors who pay a higher rate. See attached document for all zone codes. Which parking company will work in the areas? Smart Parking How do I get in touch with Smart Parking?

Akademiska Hus invests billions in central Gothenburg
Akademiska Hus is investing approximately SEK 1.9 billion in a new building that will make it possible for the University of Gothenburg to gather the Faculty of Arts between Götaplatsen and Korsvägen. The investment will be an important part of the development of the university area Näckrosen and the meeting place for the humanities, arts and culture that is created there. - The University of Gothenburg has the largest art faculty in Scandinavia with a completely unique breadth of educations and research, even in an international perspective. The fact that we can now gather the faculty in the middle of the city in a building that is specifically adapted for the business provides fantastic opportunities, both for the university, for Gothenburg and for cultural life, says Eva Wiberg, Rector of the University of Gothenburg. In the new building, the faculty's two departments, the School of Art and Design (HDK-Valand) and the School of Stage and Music (HSM) can move together. The house will be home to students, researchers and teachers in all artistic subjects, which creates greater opportunities for students and researchers from different disciplines to interact and new collaborations in the artistic subjects can emerge. - Together with the University of Gothenburg, we create an efficient and purposeful building where all the subjects of the Faculty of Arts can gather in premises that provide the conditions for outstanding education and research. The university area at Näckrosen is strengthened as a living place in the middle of the city where people can meet, experience art and exchange knowledge, says Anna Alsborger, property director at Akademiska Hus. Specific and flexible premises The investment consists of a rebuilding of part of the existing Artisten as well as an extension with two new house bodies in six floors called Kuben and Längan. The environments will include workshops, multi-purpose halls, dance halls, concert halls, theaters, galleries, studios, music rooms, studios, offices, cafés and restaurants. - We have long been known for our fine workshops and other special premises and we want to continue to be so in the future. In the new house, we have invested heavily in the special rooms required for artistic education and research, such as workshops for textiles, metal, wood and ceramics, concert halls, rehearsal rooms, photo labs, studios and blackboxes. And of course galleries and scenes where we can share our production, says Sanne Kofod Olsen, dean of the Faculty of Arts. The premises will have a flexible design so that they can be changed according to the university's future needs, while the co-location in the new building means that the faculty's need for rented premises will decrease by a total of 25 percent compared to the space they rent today. The renovation and extension project covers a total of approximately 45,000 m2, of which the Faculty of Arts intends to rent 26,200 m2. Other areas include a parking garage and attractive office space for external activities connected to the academy or which in a longer perspective can constitute space for the faculty to grow in. Ascent from Västlänken The project also includes an ascent from Västlänken station Korsvägen with retail premises with adapted service offerings. The entrance will be integrated in the new extension Längan and located at the corner between Johannebergsgatan and Olof Wijksgatan. The location has been developed in close collaboration with the City of Gothenburg and with the aim of minimizing changes in the urban environment. With the ascent, the building and the university open up further towards the city, throughput and people's lives on surrounding streets increase and the opportunity for sustainable travel to and from campus improves. Sustainable and long-term Building sustainably and long-term is of the utmost importance for both Akademiska Hus and the University of Gothenburg. High environmental requirements are set in all construction projects and the Faculty of Arts' new building will be built with the aim of being certified according to Miljöbyggnad Guld. As part of this work, recycled materials will be used where possible. The renovation and extension is planned to start in February 2023. The relocation of the Faculty of Arts is planned to begin in a first stage in 2025 and be completed in 2027. About the Waterlily area With its central location between Korsvägen and Götaplatsen, Näckrosen is a place with great opportunities. Here, the University of Gothenburg and Akademiska Hus create a new university environment for the entire university and the entire city - a new center for the humanities, arts and culture for future research and education. The new Humanist was completed in December 2019 and brings together the Faculty of Humanities under one roof. In addition to the new building for the Faculty of Arts with an integrated entrance from Västlänken's station Korsvägen, planning is underway for a new and more functional university library. Akademiska Hus recently began the conversion of part of the old Humanisten, the so-called Språkskrapan, into student housing. With proximity to both the cultural institutions around Götaplatsen and to Korsvägen and the event route, the university area Näckrosen will in a few years be an even more active and integrated part of Gothenburg.

Coliving can halve the climate footprint per person
Today, Akademiska Hus is releasing an interdisciplinary study on how the shared housing of the future should be designed to be as climate-smart and sustainable as possible. The study shows, among other things, that the climate footprint per person can be reduced by more than 50 percent when the homes are designed to share common areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. It is together with, among others, HSB Living Lab and KTH Live-In Lab that Akademiska Hus has produced the study "Future shared housing: A report on sustainability in lifestyle and housing". A number of forms of housing for students, researchers and young adults around Sweden have examined several perspectives - economic and organizational conditions, housing and building design, as well as the residents' opportunity for a sustainable lifestyle. - Coliving can strongly contribute to sustainable societal development, which is an important lesson for the construction and real estate sector where we need to greatly reduce our climate impact. The results from the study will form the basis for our future research collaborations and give us guidance when we design innovative and campus-based student housing that will partly contain shared areas. We also hope that the study can provide insights and concrete tools for more people in the real estate industry who wish to develop future shared living environments, says Susanne Malmgren, head of student housing at Akademiska Hus. Halved climate footprint and increased quality of life The study shows that the climate footprint per inhabitant can decrease by more than 50 percent in the construction phase if you plan for increased division. The key to the reduced footprint is that you share climate-intensive parts such as kitchens and bathrooms. Shared housing thus enables a more efficient floor plan and building design in comparison with individual housing. According to the study, it is also possible to have approximately 10-15 tonnes of carbon dioxide per capita as a guideline value when building new forms of shared housing. In addition to pure climate benefits, Akademiska Hus' study shows that consciously efficient planning of the home's various surfaces and functions also enables sharing between several users and that the quality of life in the home can thus increase compared with an individual home. Areas shared with the entire accommodation should make up the largest percentage and preferably exceed 40 percent. - Coliving provides opportunities for a more sustainable lifestyle. The more needs that the home can meet, the more the resident wants to stay in and use their home. Shared housing also leads to more social relationships. In this way, this type of housing can counteract the trend of loneliness and mental illness that we see mainly among young adults today, says Linda Teng, housing developer and innovation leader for sustainable urban and campus development at Akademiska Hus. Other partners who have contributed to the study are Studentbostäder i Linköping AB, Nordic Choice Hotels, Chalmers, KTH, Zynka BIM, Tengbom, Arkitema, Semrén & Månsson and Grunditz Göransson architects.

Akademiska Hus is investing in increased biodiversity
In order to create more attractive campus areas and contribute to a more sustainable society, Akademiska Hus implements a series of initiatives around the country that promote biological diversity. The result has positive effects for humans as well as animals and vegetation.As one of Sweden's largest park managers, Akademiska Hus places great emphasis on the outdoor environments that surround the 3.3 million square meter property portfolio. Through greenery and nature on campus, conditions are created for a stress-relieving and performance-enhancing living environment, while positive effects arise for animals and vegetation.- We want the country's campuses to be an asset for the entire society and we work to strengthen biological diversity both in our ongoing administration and when we develop new buildings or entire areas. In this way, we provide better conditions for both people, animals and insects to thrive on campus and in the ecologically sustainable outdoor environments that are created there, says Mia Edofsson, head of sustainability at Akademiska Hus.Small and large stakesWhen Akademiska Hus, together with the higher education institutions, plans for the development of the campus areas, this is done through long-term campus plans, where climatic, social and ecological perspectives are taken into account. In the systematic work, great focus is placed on protecting the green qualities and biological diversity - now and over time. Around the country there are a number of examples of investments made to promote increased species richness. These include, for example, insect hotels, hedgehog nests, beehives and nest boxes adapted for, for example, tits, starlings, tree crawlers, bats and butterflies. In several places, Akademiska Hus has reinforced the ecological values of the campus by creating meadows, cultivation plots, storm water ponds, water mirrors and permaculture gardens. A large number of buildings have been given green sedum roofs with space for bee batteries that provide nests for wild bees.Contributing to increased biological diversity has in some cases also been guiding in the development of completely new campus areas. In Stockholm, a coherent university area is emerging that stretches from Stockholm University in the north, via KTH over to Hagastaden with Karolinska Institutet in the west. The development of the Albano campus into a modern and competitive university environment takes place in harmony with nature and the goal is to become a role model in sustainable urban construction. As proof of the project's sustainability success, Albano is the first campus area in Sweden to be certified according to Citylab, a sustainability certification that does not only cover an individual building but includes an entire urban development project.At Albano, new water systems are being created to take care of stormwater, an improved microclimate and outdoor environments designed to strengthen the dispersal routes for plants and animals between the Nationalstadsparken and Hagaparken. Selection of biotopes and plants is based on the surrounding landscape and placed so that they support known, ecological dispersal routes. Through green roofs with large open roof terraces where students, employees and also the public have access, the university buildings become an integrated part of the park environment.- With efforts large and small, we contribute to increasing biological diversity on the country's campus areas. The work takes place in close collaboration with our customers and other stakeholders, where we work together for an even more sustainable society, says Mia Edofsson.Ask us!If you are interested in how we work with biodiversity on your campus area, you are welcome to ask your administrator!Read more!Read more about Akademiska Hus' sustainability work here:
