Studentpalatset, Educational complex in Vasastaden, Stockholm, Sweden
Studentpalatset is an educational complex in Vasastaden, Stockholm, with a red plaster facade and a rusticated base. The entrance features four tall columns with Corinthian capitals that define its classical appearance.
Architect Erik Lallerstedt designed this North European classical building in 1927 for the legal and humanities departments. The structure later became part of a larger academic institution serving the central area of Stockholm.
The entrance features sculptures of Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Sophocles that reflect the academic purpose of the building. These representations shape how visitors perceive the place when they arrive.
The building offers reading spaces, group study rooms, and a cafe for students from multiple educational institutions. Visitors should note that access is tied to academic operating hours.
In 2022, the Stockholm School of Economics acquired this heritage-listed building, expanding their presence in the central district. This acquisition marked a new chapter in the building's ongoing use.
