Campus Kista – the Nod Building

The facilities have different purposes and rules for use. Some rooms can be booked in advance, while others are open for spontaneous study or specific teaching sessions. The overview shows what applies to each type of room.

Lecture halls

Aula NOD
Lilla hörsalen

Lecture rooms

L70, L50, L30, DL30 and DL40.
The rooms are named according to the number of students each can accommodate. L70 can be connected to other lecture halls. DL40 is equipped with 20 and DL30 with 15 stationary computers. Both rooms are used for specific lectures.

Seminar rooms

S1, S2 and S3
For seminars in smaller groups of up to 15 students. When the seminar rooms are not booked for teaching (shown on the information screen outside the room), they may be used by students for group work. The seminar rooms cannot be booked.

Group rooms with IT support

There are group rooms for up to five people, G5:1–G5:21, and group rooms for up to ten people, G10:1–G10:8.

The rooms are equipped with a stationary computer, large screen, whiteboard, table and chairs. You can connect your own computer to the screen. These rooms are primarily intended for group work. Book via Daisy. G5:18–21 and G10:8 cannot be booked; they are available on a “first come, first served” basis.

Rules for the use of group rooms:

• A group can book a room via Daisy.
  
• A group consists of at least three people.
• If a group room cannot be booked, the “first come, first served” rule applies.
• If you are alone, you may use a room until a group arrives. The group has priority even if you have booked the room.
• If your group does not arrive within 30 minutes of the booked time, or leaves the room for more than 30 minutes, the booking is no longer valid and another group may take the room.
• The rooms can be booked for a maximum of four consecutive hours.
• Food and drinks are not allowed in the rooms.

Computer rooms

D1, D2, D3 and D4
The computer rooms are equipped with 15 computers each. They are intended for individual work or group work in pairs. The computers cannot be booked.

Student labs

DSV has several specially equipped student labs. Access to these labs depends on the programme or course you are taking. You will receive information from your course coordinator.
Labs on floor 2: ID Lab, Media Lab, SÄK Lab
Labs on the entrance floor: Game Lab and ID Fix.

Study areas

Sofas, tables, chairs and stools are placed throughout the student floor. These study areas are intended for individual study and group work. They cannot be booked.

Here you will find important information about fire safety in the Nod Building and how to act in the event of an evacuation. Take a few minutes to look around the facilities so that you know where the emergency exits, fire alarms and extinguishing equipment are located. This will help you be better prepared if something should happen.

• Locate the fire extinguishers and learn how they work by reading the instructions.
  
• Locate the fire blankets. They are used if someone’s clothes have caught fire. You will find a fire blanket close to every fire extinguisher.
  
• Familiarise yourself with the escape routes. Look for the green signs with a “running man”. Several safe routes are available.
  
• Study the evacuation plan, available on the walls on the 2nd floor, and find out where the outdoor assembly point is located.
  
• Identify your evacuation leader. In public study rooms, a member of staff will act as one. If you are in a lesson or lecture, your teacher will serve as the evacuation leader, and if you are taking an exam, the responsible invigilator will take on this role. All evacuation leaders wear a yellow vest. In the student union’s premises, someone from DISK will act as an evacuation leader, with or without a vest.
  
• Always follow the evacuation leader’s instructions.
  
• Warn others and urge them to evacuate. Assist those in need without putting yourself at risk. Help individuals in wheelchairs to reach a stairwell that is free of smoke. Ensure that someone stays with them while another person informs the evacuation leaders that people remain in the building, including which staircase and floor they are located on.
  
• Remain at the outdoor assembly point until the police, rescue services or an evacuation leader confirm that it is safe to re-enter the building.

General information about evacuation

Evacuate immediately if you hear the fire alarm, if there is a risk to life or health, or if instructed by the police, rescue services or an evacuation leader. Once a fire has started, you typically have only three to four minutes to evacuate. If you see smoke in your nearest escape stairwell, choose an alternative route.
