Questions and answers regarding the campus relocation
Answers to some of the most common questions regarding the relocation of KTH’s operations at our campuses.
Questions and answers for students can be found on the Student web
How will you solve the issue of premises for all employees who have to move from both Södertälje and Kista to the campus, including the research environment?
Now that the decision has been made, we can begin to put this puzzle together. KTH Campus has 3000 square meters of unused space right now, but we also know that densification must be done to accommodate everyone. Right now, a number of groups are working on this matter.
And the students, how will there be room for all of them?
This is a prioritized issue, and we are reviewing our premises to see how this best can be solved. At the moment, it is unclear whether we will be able to redirect so that admission can be made to KTH Campus as early as autumn semester 2024 or whether it will not be until the autumn semester 2025. As soon as we know more about it, information will be sent out.
KTH Södertälje and KTH Kista are being moved at the same time. Why not do one move at a time instead?
We will plan how we can best implement the move and it may be that we divide the move into different parts, but it is too early to say anything about this now before the planning work is completed.
How do you intend to resource the work of developing plans for the move and actually implementing it?
We will involve staff and students in the planning of the move. Planning and implementation are done within regular working hours and some parts we can get help from VS staff with. For the implementation of the actual move, it must be possible to use a moving company.
What happens with Electrum's connection to KTH?
The Electrum lab will not be affected by the move and will remain in its place. There are a number of offices adjacent to the lab that we can continue to use.
How will KTH be able to have a good presence in Järva?
In the goal picture, there are thoughts about different ways for KTH to be visible in Järva and then we think about all of KTH's activities, not just EECS.
Who takes care of the admission and reception of the autumn students?
It will proceed as usual and be clear where the students will study.
