Språkskrapan

Welcome to Språkskrapan! The building underwent extensive renovation and remodeling and now offers housing for students and researchers in the middle of campus.


About Språkskrapan

Språkskrapan was built in the 1960s and then served as offices and learning environments. With the extension of the current Humanisten, the premises were vacated. Språkskrapan then underwent a renovation and rebuilding to become modern accommodation for international students and researchers at the University of Gothenburg. The building is located in the Näckrosen area at Renströmsparken between Götaplatsen and Korsvägen.  

The homes in Språkskrapan consist of two buildings with a common stairwell. There are classic student studios and duo apartments for two people, but also larger apartments according to the student housing concept for shared living that Akademiska Hus has developed. In these apartments, five to six people live, each with their own bedroom but sharing a kitchen, living room and bathroom.  

Much of the existing materials from when the building was an office have been preserved and reused, including window sills, doors and lighting fixtures. On the outside of the house there are recycled plants and granite stone that has been taken from other construction projects within Akademiska Hus, and for the terrace and outdoor furniture, used azob timber was purchased, which has previously been on the now demolished footbridge between Nordstan and Lilla Bommen in Gothenburg.

Part of a pilot project for reuse

Reuse is an important piece of the puzzle in the transition to a more sustainable business, and since 2019, Akademiska Hus has accelerated the work through participation in the development projects Återbruk i Väst and CCBuild. Through two pilot projects at the School of Business, Economics and Law and Språkskrapan at the Humanisten School in Gothenburg, materials have been preserved with an estimated climate benefit of 100 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents.
