The building and the park were built according to the drawings of Theodor Holmgren between 1877 and 1887, next to the Cathedral and the University's first central building at the time, the Gustavianum. The vestibule is one of Sweden's most prominent space creations crowned by three uniform glass domes. The semi-circular aula is the heart of the building and can hold up to 2000 people. There are also lecture halls and many other classrooms in the building. The original activity, education, and teaching are ongoing in the building today and its role as a collective point is strengthened, as the institutions move to the campus outside the city. In order for the activity to continue, AIX Arkitekter has worked with the accessibility adaptation, fire safety and renewed of technical equipment.
