Now we are improving Blå Stråket
During weeks 38 to 42, work is underway to improve the Blå Stråket. This means that pedestrian/bicycle traffic through the UB park will be redirected and accessibility will be affected.According to the current detailed plan, we may not lay asphalt along the Blå Stråket. Together with the municipality of Lund, which has maintenance responsibility, we have now found an alternative solution to make the pedestrian and cycle path better. By raising and lowering the levels and removing kerbstones, we can create new catchment zones that divert stormwater. This, in turn, will lead to us removing the water furrows we currently have problems with.Now the County Administrative Board, Lund municipality and the city antiquary have approved the plan, which is why we can now start the work.We hope for understanding for any disruptions, soon the Blå Stråket will be just like before, but better!

Horses cut grass for biodiversity
In the meadow outside the Chemistry Center, we let the grass grow freely to create food and space for buzzing insects. In August every year, the grass is mowed by horses. Environmentally friendly and efficient as the horses trample the seeds from flowering plants into the soil so that they come again next year as well.The job is ordered via Peab by us at Akademiska Hus and is part of our work with biological diversity, which we run together with the Department of Biology at Lund University.If you want to see the horses at work, you can watch svt's report on this year's mowing here:https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/skane/okad-efterfragan-pa-fossilfria-hastkrafter

Summer letter from Akademiska Hus
Now there are not many days left before most of us get a much-needed day off and the opportunity to recharge our batteries. It has been an intense academic year where a lot has happened on our campus in Lund and Malmö.We have conducted this year's NKI survey where the result for Lund/Malmö ended up at 60, a clear rise from last year's measurement of 51. If we look at Lund Center and Malmö, we increase the result to 61 from 59 in the last measurement. Universitetsplatån increased to 60 from 56 and LTH to 59 from 41. A result we are very happy about, but the work continues to make us even better. More about the results will come at the autumn house meetings.Lund Center:We have renovated the G:a Lungkliniken, which is now ready for occupancy at the beginning of June. During the autumn, we began the replacement of outdoor fixtures in Kv Paradis and in the UB park, which has now been completed. Together with our contractor Peab and our land manager Catharina, we have looked over the vegetation and taken measures to above all increase safety, more will be done during the autumn.The university library is being carefully renovated to create a new entrance that meets the beautiful building in a better way and more study places, expected to be completed by the turn of the year 24/25.Lund Universitetsplatån:During the spring, we adapted a room for LU Byggnad at KC 3. It is the first room in Anshelmhusen that has been adapted to function as a large-room office, and it will be exciting to see which business moves into the room.We unfortunately had a fire on BMC's roof which fortunately did not cause any major damage to the house or impact on the business. The emergency services did a good job so that the water damage was minimized. The cause of the fire is currently being investigated. It is likely that a scaffold will need to be placed over parts of the house during the restoration.Lund LTH:At LTH, there are two major development projects of the outdoor environment in the starting pits, a collaboration project with VA SYD and REWAISE where we will test the future stormwater delay in the ponds lake Sjön and pond Pölen as well as strengthen the attractiveness around an important gathering place on campus. The project is planned to be ready before the traditional regatta and is illustrated in the picture on the next page.The second development project is to strengthen the outdoor environment of the Northern Campus at LTH, where interventions during the autumn/winter will take place in front of the Police Hall with new bicycle parking, the Amphitheater, the AK park and all the way up to the IKDC entrance. Akademiska Hus is proud and happy that the design was developed in collaboration with representatives from LU Byggnad, LTH and TLTH.Many thanks for a good cooperation during the spring and we hope that you all have a nice summer and time off. We ourselves look forward to gardening, rounds of golf with friends, underwater rugby cup in Barcelona, barbecue evenings and many salty baths in the Sound, which gives us lots of energy.Sunny greetingsChristoffer, Elin, Lars-Bertil and colleagues

The art work Vertical composition back on campus in Lund
The eight-meter-high sculpture Vertical Composition has seen a lot since it was inaugurated in 1958. After being hit, vandalized and tested by the forces of the weather, the sculpture is now re-inaugurated outside the Forum Medicum in Lund. When the Department of Physiology at Lund University moved into its new premises on Sölvegatan in Lund in the mid-1950s, Arne Jones' sculpture Vertical composition was bought in as a public decoration. The sculpture came to the campus after a close collaboration between the department building's architect Klas Anshelm and the professor of physiology Georg Kahlson. In 1980, the sculpture was damaged for the first time in a storm. When the artist Jones died a few years earlier, the artist Thure Thörn was asked to fix the sculpture, which was made of copper. The work then stood majestically on the campus for many years, but after it was subjected to vandalism and another severe storm, Akademiska Hus had to take the sculpture down for safety reasons in 2011. Recreated in new material after good cooperation The sculpture was then stored in Akademiska Hus for many years and was considered too damaged to be put up again. But after a close collaboration between Lund University, the State Council for the Arts and Akademiska Hus, a recreated version of the work now stands outside the newly built Forum Medicum – the extension of the Biomedical Center (BMC) which has been ready since May 2023. This time it is the artists Viggo Wichmann and Marc Rizell who has created a new version of the work in stainless steel.

Cleaning of abandoned bicycles during the intervening days
During the intervening days, Akademiska Hus will begin a bicycle cleanup on campus. The cycle cleaning is carried out as follows: The bikes on campus will have a sticker attached to them during week 52. Those who remain on campus during week 4 will be whisked away. The removed bicycles are stored at Akademiska Hus for three months and then recycled. If you have questions, you can contact usethebike@akademiskahus.se Through this cleanup, we hope that everyone can more easily find parking for their bikes this spring.

Beautiful seat at the Chemistry Center
Outside entrance A at Kemicentrum is a beautiful seat in black granite that is reminiscent of the shape of Yin and Yang. In the stones there are hundreds of small diodes that light up the seat and make it welcoming. During the winter we have put a little extra care on it and now it is back in its original condition.
