The new building contains functional premises for education, research and offices. Forum Medicum is designed to make possible new forms of collaboration between the faculty’s education in medicine, health and care. As a result of Forum Medicum, the Faculty of Medicine will be leaving the Health Science Center on Baravägen. The new space will be able to host 4,000 students, researchers and other members of staff. The faculty will also be more accessible to Kunskapstråket (the Knowledge Highway) and make the area more inviting.

“This new building will enable us to create new encounters and collaborations between the faculty’s different research teams, but also with other organisations, due to its proximity to the hospital and the University’s other faculties,” says Kristina Åkesson, dean of the Faculty of Medicine.

The new building will also be home to a large restaurant, a café and plenty of spaces to study. There are also ultramodern teaching spaces that will enable new ways of teaching.

“This is not just a building, but a tool for the Faculty of Medicine. Together we have created modern, world-class premises,” says Lena Åberg, project manager at Akademiska Hus.
