Sustainable Campus in collaboration with Akademiska Hus
KI rents a wide range of facilities from Akademiska Hus, including workspaces, lecture halls, laboratories, study areas, common areas, meeting places, and housing. The vision for our joint sustainability efforts is to ensure that all aspects of sustainability should be considered in all typ of facilities.
Collaboration Agreement
A collaboration agreement outlining the vision, goals, and organization of the work was signed on June 30, 2025, by KI President Annika Östman Wernerson and CEO of Akademiska Hus, Caroline Arehult.
The ambition is to make sustainability a natural and dynamic part of campus development. A good and sustainable campus environment supports learning, performance, and well-being.
KI and Akademiska Hus have jointly developed six shared collaboration goals.
Joint Sustainability Goals
- Strengthen collaboration and systematize joint sustainability efforts
- Reduce energy use, both operational and building-related
- Optimize the use and coordination of facilities to meet current and future needs without compromising social values
- Reduce waste and increase reuse
- Promote sustainable mobility solutions within and to/from campus areas
- Further develop and strengthen gender equality, safety, and health on campus
The Sustainability Group Takes the Collaboration Forward
Sustainability issues will become a natural part of existing meetings between Akademiska Hus and KI, such as building meetings and project groups. A dedicated sustainability group, with representatives from both organizations, has been established to coordinate and communicate the work:
- Johanna Billberg (Akademiska Hus)
- Håkan Sandhagen (Akademiska Hus)
- Björn Blomquist (Akademiska Hus)
- Lars Gradén (Akademiska Hus)
