General information
The Ångström Laboratory is a central part of Uppsala University and is considered one of Europes most advanced laboratories for materials research. The campus is an internationally recognized part of the Akademiska Hus property portfolio, and it represents the universitys strong focus on high-quality research and education. Here, prospective civil and higher education engineers and natural scientists have access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources that support their academic and professional development. In 2020, building 9 was inaugurated. The building is part of the Nya Ångström project and provides the university with an additional 5,700 square meters for teaching, research and collaboration. The campus is designed to meet the high demands of the operation on premises and the environment. It houses Swedens largest cleanroom, which is of high international standard. Parts of the cleanroom facility are built on a vibration-free concrete slab that is separate from the rest of the building structure. Special measures minimize electric and magnetic fields, and to ensure the power supply to computers, cleanrooms, electron microscopes and ovens, there is a backup power unit. There are separate sewage systems for wastewater, process water, acid and solvents.
