Thank you all for taking part in this pleasant and very interesting science evening.

The Geoscience building, which covers a total of 25,500 square meters, was designed by Nyrén's architectural office in Stockholm with Snorre Lindquist as the architect responsible for planning investigations and program sketches by Anders Pyk and Dag Cavallius. It was inaugurated in 1997. The building consists of a cast-in-place concrete frame with load-bearing steel columns. In total, the building consists of five buildings and three slats (containing workrooms and laboratory rooms) with facades of concrete, zinc sheet and green-painted wood, as well as two fan-shaped volumes (with auditoriums, smaller classrooms and living rooms) clad with green-painted, horizontal panels with projecting moldings.

The three architects Snorre Lindquist, Anders Pyk and Dag Cavallius were awarded the Betongelementföreningens architecture prize in 1998 for their work with the Geoscience building.
