Evolutionsparken EBC
Evolution Park at EBC in Uppsala is being developed into a new meeting place where art, science and nature come together. The park will enhance the campus environment and invite curiosity, reflection and new perspectives on the broader story of evolution.
About Evolution Park
Evolution Park is a joint development project by Akademiska Hus and Uppsala University. The park is being created next to the Evolutionary Biology Centre (EBC) and will become a new destination on campus – open to students, staff, visitors and the general public.
Art, research and landscape come together in an environment designed to inspire discovery and conversation. Drawing on the story of evolution, the park explores questions about the development of life, change and humanity’s relationship with nature.
The project is part of the ongoing development of the campus area and will contribute to a more vibrant, attractive and connected route along Villavägen.
