Framtidens Kårhus – the future student union house

In the heart of the growing Campus Solna is the student union house Kårhuset, which has served as the gathering place for students since 1954, where KI’s students with different specializations gather to get involved in student influence and social activities as well as issues about health, healthcare and society.

We now want to make a tender but thorough renovation of Kårhuset and create a modern meeting place for students, alumni, researchers and healthcare staff. We are convinced that a well-functioning and inspiring student union house strengthens the community, increases well-being, contributes to a broader general education and improved learning.
