Presentation of Campus LiU 2015

Project Campus LiU 2015 is a programme of facility initiatives aimed at creating propose-designed learning environments and workplaces to help LiU become more competitive. As part of the project, measures will be implemented on the three campus areas in Linköping and Norrköping.

Campus Valla

The background for the proposed changes on Campus Valla is the long-overdue modernisation of the bookable tuition facilities – most of which are in the C Building – to create a better study environment for the students and to bring the administrative and student service personnel under one roof.

Campus US

The extension and rebuilding work on Campus US is slightly ahead of schedule. This is due to the county council already having begun work on the new university hospital and the fact that the university’s and council’s operations are so closely interconnected on US.

Campus Norrköping

In Norrköping, the university’s activities are spread across several buildings and take up a sizeable part of the Industrial Landscape. The objective is to create a more cohesive campus area on both sides of the river near the new campus bridge.

Workshops a channel for students’ views

The focus of Campus LiU 2015 will be on the students’ study environment, a renewed perspective on teaching and a good student services. Seven workshops were held in the late autumn to give students the opportunity to air their views.

Vallastaden, the new district adjacent to Campus Valla, is scheduled for completion in 2016. Undergraduate and postgraduate students at LiU have been involved in planning the area.

Lecture halls tested for the future

Tables and chairs on wheels, soft carpeting, glass whiteboards and new colour schemes. Teachers and students can find them in three lecture halls in C-huset. These halls are being tested out prior to a larger renovation of the three oldest parts of the building.
