Several buildings on Campus Norrköping are converted industrial structures, such as Kåkenhus from the late 19th century. A bridge over the Motala River links Kåkenhus with Kopparhammaren 6, creating a natural path within the urban environment. Kopparhammaren 6 has been transformed into a public space for visualization and new media, as well as a research center.
The architecture of Täppan, from the 2000s, adds a modern touch, and a footbridge between Täppan and Kåkenhus allows visitors to move between buildings from different centuries. The combination of old and new architecture gives the area a unique silhouette and has integrated the campus into the cityscape.
Linköping University's vision is to make Campus Norrköping Sweden's most beautiful campus.
