The educations at the School are attractive and amongst the most sought after within University of Gothenburg. Every year almost 7000 students come to the School to study and the premises are already constricted.
To meet the demands of an expanding research and education, future pedagogical methods and education reforms there is a need for an addition with great flexibility and ability to adjust and adapt. This means that walls need to come down and new walls need to be built.
The property owners, Akademiska Hus, called for an architect competition in June 2014. The first step attracted 73 contributions from all over Europe. Of these 73, six architect teams were chosen to move on to step two.
In March 2015 “Annex” by Johannes Norlander Arkitektur + Arup was announced as the winner.
Work on planning the new building is ongoing. The School of Business is expected to be able to move in in the summer of 2024.
