Our premises are housed in the Arrhenius Laboratory, named after our Nobel Prize-winning chemist. The building features unique, award-winning architecture, largely designed by Carl Nyrén. The Frescati campus lies within Sweden’s first national city park and is surrounded by magnificent natural surroundings. When the area was planned in the 1970s, a green corridor was integrated between the southern and northern parts of the campus to allow birds and insects to move freely between Hagaparken and Djurgården.
