More nest boxes in the Blåsenhus area

We strengthen the outdoor environment with more birdhouses. In the work, we have had the help of Lasse Fröjdlund and the nest boxes are made by people who are in job training. We are now hoping for new residents such as starlings, wagtails and nuthatches to the area.

Start of construction for Akademiska Hus student housing in Uppsala

The start is now underway for the construction of 170 apartments that will provide 350 students and researchers with accommodation close to the campus in connection with the Ångström Laboratory and Biomedical Center (BMC) at Uppsala University. The investment is an important contribution to reducing the student housing shortage that prevails in the city and which means that Uppsala was recently redlisted in Sweden's United Student Unions' annual report on the housing situation for the country's students in 34 study locations. The new student and researcher residences have been named Aquila, which is the Latin name for the constellation Örnen and Uppland's landscape constellation. The location in Rosendal, the emerging new district between Stadsskogen and Dag Hammarskjölds väg, means that Ångström and BMC are connected with commerce, services and other housing that is currently being developed in the area. There is also proximity to recreation areas and communication routes. Aquila will consist of 13,000 square meters of new construction divided into a high part of twelve floors and a low part of six floors. The building will be shaped like a U around a farm and with a beautiful wooden facade it will be woven together with the pine trees in the area. The project also includes a rebuilding of three older heritage-listed buildings of a total of 350 square meters, which will be used, among other things, for bicycle storage. - The demand for student and researcher housing is high all over the country, including in Uppsala. At Akademiska Hus, we are therefore committed to creating more housing on campus that is both sustainable and affordable. With more student housing, the universities' attractiveness increases and the campus areas become more lively and open, says Annika Stridh, property area manager at Akademiska Hus. Both shared accommodation and classic studios The new student and researcher apartments are built according to Akademiska Hus' housing concept Academic Living, which means that the block will contain a variety of different types of apartments - everything from classic studios with their own kitchens to apartments where up to six people share common areas such as bathrooms and kitchens . Sharing accommodation offers many advantages. It promotes social community and thus counteracts the feeling of loneliness that many students experience when moving to a new city. Shared accommodation is also positive from a sustainability perspective, as functions and surfaces are shared. - The student housing situation is strained in the country and it is positive to see Akademiska Hus being built for students and researchers in Uppsala. In SFS's latest housing report, it was found that the pace of construction needs to increase in order to meet the students' need for safe housing for the entire period of study, says Linn Svärd, chairman of Sweden's United Student Unions. Solar cells on the roof The building has also been equipped with solar cells which are estimated to produce 60,000 kWh of sustainable energy per year. The investment is part of Akademiska Hus' work to create locally produced renewable energy and to reach a zero vision for the company's climate footprint. The new student and researcher residences are expected to be ready for occupancy in 2024. Akademiska Hus is investing approximately SEK 360 million in the project.

Akademiska Hus is launching a huge investment in solar cells in Uppsala

Solar cells that produce a total of close to 700,000 kWh of renewable energy each year are now in place at seven of Akademiska Hus' buildings in Uppsala. The majority of the solar cells have been placed on roofs at Uppsala University and are part of the property owner's and the university's in-depth collaboration to jointly develop Uppsala University's physical environment for education, research and collaboration. Akademiska Hus has invested SEK 15.5 million in the total of seven photovoltaic systems with a total area of approximately 4,200 m2 that have been installed in Uppsala. It is mainly roofs of buildings where Uppsala University conducts its activities that have been covered with solar cells, including House 16 in the English Park, Blåsenhus, Campus 1477 and Ekonomikum. The facilities produce approximately 520,000 kWh per year and enable the university's premises in the four buildings to be supplied to some extent with environmentally friendly solar. The investment in solar cells at Uppsala University has taken place within the framework of the collaboration agreement that Akademiska Hus and the university entered into in 2019 and which in short means that the parties together will develop concrete projects that develop the university's physical environment while focusing on making campus even more sustainable. . - Our biggest contribution to a sustainable future is to be involved and solve the major societal challenges through our research and education. But at the same time we will work to increase sustainability within our own organization and this project is part of that work. We are very happy about our collaboration with Akademiska Hus on sustainable campuses, says Anders Hagfeldt, Rector of Uppsala University, who himself has his research background in solar cell research. Towards a zero vision Akademiska Hus has high climate goals and has decided on a zero vision for its climate footprint. Important parts of the company's sustainability work are to reduce the amount of energy delivered and to invest in renewable energy sources. In addition to the solar cells at Uppsala University, Akademiska Hus has also installed facilities on the roofs at Rosendalsgymnasiet and Kunskapsgymnasiet and at its own office on Artillerigatan in Uppsala. These together produce about 180,000 kWh per year. - Together with our customers, Akademiska Hus puts great effort into achieving a more sustainable energy supply and strengthening the green profile of our campus areas. With more solar cells on the roofs, we create energy-smart buildings at the same time as we contribute to the transition to a fossil-free society. In addition, we ensure electricity production and electricity use that takes place close to each other, which reduces transmission losses in the electricity networks, says Magnus Öhrman, group manager in energy and technology at Akademiska Hus. About Akademiska Hus and solar cells At present, Akademiska Hus has a total of 90 facilities in its property portfolio, which annually generates 8.2 million kWh of sustainable electrical energy for Swedish universities. In the next few years, the real estate company plans to take further steps by installing more facilities that, when completed, will contribute to Akademiska Hus' total amount of solar electricity amounting to more than 12 million kWh per year.
