General information

The Bilberg house was inaugurated in October 2008 and has been built for university education and research in the natural sciences. The building consists of research labs, offices and lecture halls. On the roof there is, among other things, a greenhouse intended for research. The house is close to the surrounding nature, which is also taken care of with large windows and glass sections throughout the building. Outdoor-like balconies further contribute to blurring the boundaries between inside and outside. The house is environmentally certified and the indoor climate is regulated in an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly way. Both heat and cold are taken from a 200 meter deep ground energy storage that is shared with the Academy of Music. On the roof there are also 190 square meters of solar energy cells that produce around 20,000 kWh per year and contribute to reducing energy consumption.

Bilberg House is named after the philosopher and churchman Johannes Bilberg (1646-1717). He was an astronomer, physicist and professor of mathematics and theology and came to Örebro from Uppsala at the end of the 17th century to become a provost and vicar.
