Bilbergska huset was inaugurated in 2008 and is tailor-made for university education and research in the natural sciences. The building consists of a research lab, offices and lecture halls. On the roof there is also a greenhouse intended for research.
Community, changeability and proximity to nature have been the architect's watchwords for Billbergska huset. The whitewashed buildings are connected by a glazed entrance hall and indoors, the environment is characterised by natural materials such as wood and limestone. On the roof of the building, a greenhouse will be erected, which will be used, among other things, for research into genetically modified plants. The building's direct proximity to nature is taken advantage of with large windows and glass sections throughout the building, and conservatory-like balconies further contribute to blurring the boundaries between the inside and outside.
The house is environmentally declared and the indoor climate is regulated in an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly way. Both heating and cooling are taken from a 200-metre-deep ground energy storage that is shared with the adjacent Academy of Music. On the roof there are also 190 sqm of solar energy cells that produce around 20,000 kWh per year and help reduce energy consumption.
