KTH Campus
The new oval four-storey building, with a total area of 8,800 m2, has created a link through the neighborhood at Osquars hill and contributes a stimulating and creative environment in the middle of the campus area. As the new School of Architecture is directly connected to other activities at KTH, there are conditions for new interesting collaborations across borders.
Externally, the building has been given its character by the curved facades, made up of frames with staggered openings and glass sections. The rust-red Corten steel framework can be seen as a reinterpretation of the red brick architecture of the older buildings, which has become KTH's signature. In the center of the building there is an open hall that acts as a gathering point and a natural exhibition room where the architecture students can showcase their work. Here, the school's activities can also develop over time with, for example, exhibitions, films, lectures and experiments. There is also the possibility to vary the light and room structure, from closed to completely open.
The drawing rooms are found on floors 3, 4 and 5 and are designed as open-plan, rooms with 360-degree views and the possibility of being divided into smaller room formations. Level 2 functions as an open office plan with service functions, meeting rooms and a kitchenette. At the top of the building there is an attic from which you can go out onto the roof terrace with a view of KTH and the stone city to the south. Next to the School of Architecture, there is also the KTH Entrance, which serves as the entrance to the KTH Campus.
Parts of KTH Entrance and Architecture (Part A) meet the requirements for Miljöbyggnad 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. This house guide contains information about how the building works and tips on what you as a tenant can influence.
If you have questions, you are welcome to contact your administrator at Akademiska Hus.
Generally
The ventilation in the building is adapted to the number of people and the equipment planned in the rooms.
After regular office hours, the ventilation in the building is turned off to save energy.
Possibility of extended ventilation operation via push button
Office
Ventilation in offices takes place with a constant air flow.
The office rooms also have cooling baffles to maintain a pleasant room climate in summer.
The room temperature in the rooms can be changed via the switch on the control center which is located by the door.
Note that it takes a few hours before you experience a difference. Make only small adjustments to the slider.
Rooms with varying occupancy (meeting rooms/ café/ multi-hall/ project spaces)
In most rooms with varying occupancy, the ventilation in the room is automatically supplied via temperature measurement in the room. When the cooling via the ventilation is not enough, this is supplemented by cooling baffles.
There are environmental stations on different floors for plastic, paper, deposits and more. Akademiska Hus is responsible for the trash cans outside, questions about other waste management are referred to campus services.
Fire protection
SCARED - WARN - ALARM - EXTINGUISH
Evacuation
If the fire alarm goes off, evacuate the house according to evacuation signs. Fire doors close automatically to prevent smoke from spreading. The existing lifts must not be used in the event of a fire alarm.
Emergency alarm from elevators and RWC
In elevators, there is an alarm button that goes to the alarm center, even outside normal working hours. The elevators are equipped with emergency telephones that have voice communication capabilities 24 hours a day. When the alarm button is pressed, a signal is heard outside the elevator in the building.
Lighting
In order to save energy, the building's lighting system is predominantly performed presence-controlled. This causes the lighting to switch on and off automatically.
Fluorescent lamps are generally made with high-frequency devices (HF devices) that provide flicker-free lighting. Some fixtures in escape routes are connected to uninterruptible power such as led/emergency lighting and
turns on automatically in the event of a power failure.
Exterior lighting
Lighting in entrances, windbreaks and exterior lighting is switched on and off automatically via a centrally installed light relay in combination with a time function.
Classrooms
Classrooms strive to have an active ignition by pressing a button. Switching off may also require a button press, but if the lamp does not switch off, it is set to switch off when there is no one in the room.
The switch-off takes place on absence, in some cases switch-off is required on the button.
