Getting to Campus Valla

Tour of Campus Valla

Students in Märkesbacken — Campus Valla’s backbone is the Corso, a combined pedestrian/bike path that runs from Märkesbacken in the north, where student associations paint their colourful emblems on the asphalt, to the indoor sports centre Campushallen in the south. Cecilia Olsson

C-huset / C Building — C Building contains the largest auditoriums on campus, and many classrooms. Students from many programmes come together here. Musicum in C Building is where the university choirs and orchestras rehearse; Colosseum hosts big events like career fairs. Thor Balkhed

B-huset / B Building — A and B Building were the first to be completed in the early 1970s. Much of the teaching and research in technology and economics takes place here. The photo shows B Building spectacularly framed by the northern lights which appeared above campus in the spring of 2015. Alejandro Sobron

Studenter fikar i Kårallen / Students having fika in Kårallen Building — Kårallen is the students’ own building, home to student unions, chapters and associations. The Baljan café is run by students and has supplied several generations with ”fika” (coffee and cakes). Anna Nilsen

The new Studenthuset is a place where students, researchers and teachers meet. Here you find the library, student services and many study areas. This is the university entrance, where the Info Centre is based to help you find your way. Magnus Johansson

Marknad i Keyhuset / Market in Key Building — One of the newer buildings on campus is the Key Building, where most of the teacher training takes place. The foyer has room for different activities such as the Handicrafts and Design student markets where they sell items they have made themselves.

Ångströmhuset / Ångström Building — Ångström Building is the first titanium building in Sweden. It contains the advanced electron microscope Arwen which is used in materials sciences.
