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.

Building Guide

The lighting in corridors and toilets is presence controlled, it is regulated automatically depending on whether there are any people in the room. The lighting in offices is also controlled via presence, but can also be turned on and off manually via a pull cord. A short pull on the cord switches the lighting on/off. A long pull dims the lighting.
Please note that if the luminaire is switched off via the pull cord, it will not be switched on via the presence sensor either, until you actively choose to switch the lighting on with the cord again. If it then remains on, it will again be turned on and off automatically by presence in the room.

The building's ventilation is needs-based. It is regulated automatically based on the number of people in the room and whether or not there is presence. The premises are predetermined for a certain maximum number of people. If no one is in a room for a long time, the ventilation will allow both lower and higher temperatures, depending on the prevailing climate outside. When there is a presence in the room again, the ventilation automatically adjusts the flow correctly so that you get a pleasant indoor climate. There are push buttons on each floor that give the possibility to start or extend the ventilation by two hours, after office hours.

TEMPERATURE
The building is dimensioned to maintain certain minimum and maximum temperatures and the temperature may therefore vary. Factors that affect the temperature are the location of the room and the outdoor climate, as well as whether or not there is a person in the room. The room temperature cannot be regulated manually.
