KTH campus relocation
On 22 November 2023, the University Board made a decision to concentrate KTH operations to three campuses. This was after conducting a comprehensive review of KTH's five campuses since the spring of 2023, with the aim of developing a proposal for how research and education activities should be developed and the cost of premises.
Additional information for students can be found on the Student web
The work on developing plans for the various relocations is ongoing and is being carried out on a broad front with a group led by the Deputy President and with project managers for four sub-projects. The sub-projects are:
- Relocation of production technology from Södertälje to the KTH campus.
- Relocation of the technical foundation year from Södertälje to Flemingsberg.
- Relocation of computer science and electrical engineering from Kista - with the exception of the Electrum lab.
- Planning for the new activities in Södertälje and Kista.
