Campus Örebro - Handelshøjskolen

Taking their starting point in the competition for the overall design of the university’s new campus square, Juul Frost Architects have programmed and detail designed three new buildings in relation to the campus square as well as the adjacent campus- street, garden and arrival.  Together the campus square, the new business school: the NOVA house, student housing and accommodation for researchers provides the university with a vibrant, urban and inviting entrance area – an arrival point, that connects campus with the city.

The transparent facade and the continued materiality dissolve the boundary between the business school’s premises and the public space of the city. Through numerous social meeting points varying from the 560-seat magnum auditorium to small scale informal spaces the NOVA house constitutes the new exciting meeting grounds between all the actors of the knowledge city.

The Nova House won the Örebro Municipality’s Construction Prize, 2015: “With the Nova House, the University has got a new face towards the city center. Örebro has got a new iconic building”

Juul Frost Architects won the 2014 Building SMART International’s Special Mention Award  for ”… their achievement in demonstrating the tangible benefits of open BIM” in the development of Örebro Business School.
