The term campus is a broad concept for the entire university's operations. It accommodates the physical place with its environment and buildings as well as the business, the life and the surrounding service created in the area.

Agenda 2030 describes global goals for sustainable development and should be an obvious guiding star in the continued work to develop the campus. Therefore, our starting point when we rebuild on campus is to reuse as much as possible. It concerns both building materials and interior design. In the rebuilding of phase 1, nearly 40% of the furniture is reused, resulting in a climate saving of almost 54 tons of carbon dioxide. This is a significant climate saving and also an economic saving.

The furniture that is not worn out and does not need to be disposed of, is prioritized for reuse. What we cannot reuse goes to recycling.

Reduce the climate impact

The academic world has a central role in the work to counteract the negative climate changes. The so-called “Klimatramverket” was created at the initiative of universities with the ambition to clearly contribute to the climate transition in line with society's national and international commitments.

Together with 35 other universities, we have committed to reducing our negative climate impact so that we are in line with the 1.5 degree target, i.e. a halving by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2045.
