General information

The decades around the turn of the century were the culmination of a century characterized by rapid changes in human existence with a scientific and industrial revolution that transformed the world. During this period, sometimes called the second scientific revolution, physics, like many other subject areas within the natural sciences, became a production factor in society.

For the reasons mentioned above, the physical institution grew strongly around the turn of the century. Existing premises in "Philologen" became outdated and inadequate.

Programs for the new building were drawn up by the department's professor Knut Ångström and drawings were made by architect Ernst Stenhammar. These were later reworked by architect Ture Stenberg.

In this building, Knut Ångström started his work on developing the subject and providing opportunities for teaching for a rapidly increasing number of students.

The new building was well adapted to the business that was to be conducted with forward-looking special solutions and canalization solutions that stood up for a long time.

Knut Ångström was succeeded by Manne Siegbahn and later his son Kai Siegbahn, both Nobel laureates in physics in 1982, the year after Kai Siegbahn's Nobel Prize, the large auditorium was renovated at the expense of Uppsala University and named "Siegbahn hall" as a tribute to the two Nobel laureates.

Only in the 1950s and 1960s was the building supplemented with new laboratory buildings.
