Umeå School of Architecture inaugurated |

Umeå School of Architecture was inaugurated in late September. The school forms part of the Arts Campus at Umeå University, which will also comprise the new Art Museum and the Academy of Fine Arts, both designed by Henning Larsen Architects and White Arkitekter.
The new School of Architecture at Umeå University has a unique location by the banks of Umeå River and close to the city centre. The building appears cubic with larch facades and square windows placed in a vibrant, rhythmic sequence on all sides. The interior is designed as a dynamic sequence of stairs and split, open floor levels where abstract, white boxes hang freely from the ceiling filtering the light coming in through the high skylights.
”The intention has been to design an open, robust study environment where each student feels part of the creative study community. The open layout and informal meeting places create a light and laboratory-like atmosphere supporting idea development and creative work processes”, explains architect Per Ebbe Hansson, Henning Larsen Architects.
