Campus Solna
With Karolinska Institutet's new workplace Biomedicum, the campus concept of "house in a park" is turned inside out to "park in a house" and gets a building that creates an identity for a world-class scientific research environment.
KI campus Solna is known for its green park area with scattered red brick buildings. "Park in house" has always been an important concept in the design of Biomedicum. With its green color, the Biomedicum also becomes part of the park, and with a large glass roof, green walls and light garden with wood, the campus area also continues into the building. The lab quarters are in direct contact with the light garden's park landscape.
With its 65,000 square meters spread over 11 floors, Biomedicum is a building consisting of four sections. Each house body is angled outwards to divide the long glass facades and create a shadow effect, identity and variety for the building.
The slant/angles of the approx. 1,500 glass sections are a way of creating identity and variety. Their size reflects the rational rate provided by the travé measures for the laboratories. The glass behaves differently depending on the weather and direction, sometimes reflective and sometimes completely transparent.
The entrance level in the light garden is an open environment for everyone with its public functions such as café, exhibition, auditorium and conference room.
Open spaces are formed between Biomedicum's lab quarters, which extend from the light yard to the facade through all floors. These are called "Slots". Here, views of the surroundings are provided, and visual contact between the floors is created by cutting holes in the joists. The slots are meeting places and here are the block's entrances, coffee stations and informal lounge zones. Vertically, the slots are connected with a plant wall.
Materials and colors are chosen taking into account that Biomedicum is a house that will exist for many years to come. Timeless and modern at the same time. The wood creates a warm and cozy environment. Likewise the champagne color of the railing. The terrazzo, the floor of the entrance level with elements of red and green stones, connects to the brick buildings and the park of the Solna campus. In the four stairwells, the glass wall has a practical function because it illuminates the entire stairwell and, with the warm light through the mouth-blown flat glass, also makes a big impression on the entire light yard.
On floor 10 are the majority of larger internal conference rooms, the faculty club and two lunch rooms that also have access to the outdoor terrace with the fantastic view. On level 4 there is also a lunch room.
Biomedicum is designed with the goal of creating a flexible, accessible and functional work environment with many natural meeting places for the exchange of ideas and experiences and promoting collaborations between the
about 1,600 people who will work here. The physical working environment in the laboratories is characterized by transparency through the building, that you see colleagues from other institutions.

Facility Management (FM)
The building organizes itself in a common function around the building's service, Facility Management. Facility Management (FM) refers to the strategic management and control of the resources and services required for a building to function effectively. Biomedicum's FM organization supports Biomedicum's core business and is divided into five areas. Support features include:
• Goods and logistics
• Lab counter
• Service and technology
• Health, environment and safety
• Purchasing and supply center
Error reporting
In the first place, the error report is made to the FM organization of the business, which takes the case on to the right recipient at Akademiska Hus or Karolinska Institutet.
In the event of an urgent danger to property, which could lead to a risk of personal injury, Akademiska Hus' emergency call should be called 24 hours a day on phone +46761343785 . See also the information board at the building's entrance.
Room number must be stated when reporting a fault. See exterior door frame/room and read more under section Building.
Impact in the building and heavy transport
The FM organization must be contacted regarding desired changes in the building, this for further case management at Akademiska Hus and Karolinska Institutet.
In offices and labs there is a well-thought-out rail system to be used for hanging shelves etc. For approved hanging systems, contact FM.
It is not permitted to damage the building without the approval of FM. This applies, for example, to making holes in walls, rebuilding or changing the buildings' installations.
It is also not permitted to transport, move or place heavier equipment over 450 kg without permission. The FM organization helps with the transport of goods and liquid nitrogen gas.
Read more under Building and Frame and the Lifts section.
Boundary drawing list Plug and Play
There is a demarcation list between property owner and tenant in lab. Contact the FM organization for more information regarding e.g. Plug and play of different media.
Biomedicum meets the requirements for environmental construction silver. Miljöbyggnad is a certification system for creating environmentally sustainable buildings. It is based on Swedish building and authority regulations as well as Swedish construction practice. Environmental building is a certificate of important qualities of a building in terms of energy, indoor environment and materials and is used for newly produced and existing buildings regardless of size. In Environmental Construction, a building can achieve the bronze, silver or gold rating. Behind the certification stands the non-profit association Sweden Green Building Council (SGBC).
Being a tenant in a certified building means a responsibility in the use of the premises and the building to create the smallest possible environmental impact. In order for the property to be able to maintain the certification, it is important that you as a tenant know what applies.
If you have questions, you are welcome to contact your administrator at Akademiska Hus.
