Now inaugurated – 4,000 square metres of new study facilities at the Johanneberg campus.
“This is a milestone in A unified campus – and Chalmers at its very best,” says Fredrik Nilsson, Vice President for Campus Development.
The inauguration of the new Technology Park on 2 September drew a packed crowd. Following speeches by President Martin Nilsson Jacobi, Student Union President Tobias Filmberg, Vice President for Education Jörgen Blennow and Fredrik Nilsson, it was time for everyone present to officially open the building – by setting off the confetti cannons handed out at the entrance.
“This inauguration is about more than a new building; it is the beginning of a more welcoming campus, and a meeting place for students,” said Tobias Filmberg.
Jörgen Blennow highlighted the “bold, varied and colourful design” and stressed that, like many teachers, he was pleased to see traditional blackboards in several of the classrooms.
Vice President for Campus Development, Fredrik Nilsson, called the new Teknikparken a milestone in the A unified campus project.
“This is a manifestation of the tremendous efforts made by many people, and of our focus moving forward. There is an atmosphere characterised by momentum and dynamism.”
He also noted that the new facilities contribute to transforming the southern parts of the campus into a more academic environment with more students, and took the opportunity to thank everyone involved in the work:
“This is Chalmers at its very best – everyone has come together to find concrete solutions.”
