Generally

In order to obtain good air quality in the premises, the ventilation is adapted to the number of people and the equipment planned for the rooms. To provide heat and prevent frostbite, there are radiators located along facade walls.

Office

The air supply in offices takes place automatically with a continuous flow.

Extended operating time

After regular office hours, i.e. in the evening and on weekends, the ventilation in the building is switched off to save energy. The ventilation can be started manually again via a blue push button in the corridor and copy room.

Car parking

Parking spaces intended for vehicles with a handicap permit can be found close to the entrances.

Entrances and lifts

The entrances are accessible and all floors can be reached via lift.

Tactile walkways

A tactile walkway for people with impaired vision is available from the bus stop to the welcome center in the main entrance.

RWC and rest room

Toilets adapted for the disabled are available on each floor. In rest rooms and at the RWC there are security alarms with red push buttons labeled "emergency signal". Alarms are indicated locally by sound and a red flashing light outside each room. It is important that you who see and hear this alarm contact the person concerned who needs help. The security alarm is forwarded to reception during the day. Alarms are reset inside each room by pressing the reset button.

• alert the Emergency Services by calling 112

• put out the fire if possible

Automatic fire alarm

Evacuation alarms in case of fire are triggered via smoke detectors placed in escape routes, technical spaces and in spaces where many people gather. Triggered alarm, i.e. signal to evacuate, given via doorbell throughout the house.

Triggered alarms go to the emergency services. Limit the source of the fire by closing windows and doors.
You can manually trigger the evacuation alarm using push buttons in connection with the escape routes.

Fire cells

The building is divided into a number of fire cells to prevent fire and smoke from spreading.
Each fire cell is delimited by fire-rated walls and doors. In principle, all floors, stairwells, elevators, operating spaces and waste rooms are their own fire cells. Doors in fire cell boundaries can be magnetically suspended in the open position for transport and closed manually with a push button marked "fire door closer". When an evacuation alarm is triggered, the doors close automatically within the alarmed area.

Doors in fire compartment boundaries must absolutely not be blocked by wedges or the like!

Escape routes / Assembly point

See evacuation plans in corridors.

The stairwells form independent escape routes. Two stairwells can be reached from each workplace. The escape routes, which are marked with green, luminous escape signs, must never be blocked. The green signs are always lit and have a battery backup to illuminate even in the event of a power cut.

If the fire alarm is triggered, all personnel must leave the building, close all doors behind them and gather at the assembly point. The staff reports there to the evacuation recipient and leaves their name and group affiliation or equivalent. No one may depart from the assembly point until this is done.

The university's library fulfills the requirements for environmental construction gold. Miljöbyggnad is a certification system for creating environmentally sustainable buildings. It is based on Swedish building and authority regulations as well as Swedish construction practice. Environmental building is a certificate of important qualities of a building in terms of energy, indoor environment and materials and is used for newly produced and existing buildings regardless of size. In Environmental Construction, a building can achieve the bronze, silver or gold rating. Behind the certification stands the non-profit association Sweden Green Building Council (SGBC).

Being a tenant in a certified building means a responsibility in the use of the premises and the building to create the smallest possible environmental impact. In order for the property to be able to maintain the certification, it is important that you as a tenant know what applies. This house guide contains information about how the building works and tips on what you as a tenant can influence.
