The main building of Reykjavik University opened in 2010 and marked the beginning of a modern campus structure with innovative design. Since then, the institution has grown into a recognized research university known internationally for its work in energy and social sciences.
Reykjavik University is a place where students and staff work together on new ideas and exchange knowledge. The Iceland School of Energy stands out as a special area where students engage with sustainable energy solutions and learn to use Iceland's rich energy resources responsibly.
The campus is fully accessible with elevators on all floors, wide paths for people with visual impairments, and large restrooms with support rails. Students can easily arrive by public transport or store bikes in a shelter in front of the building, while free parking spaces are available nearby.
The design of the main building draws inspiration from the solar system, with wings named after planets like Venus, Mars, and Uranus, and corridors with letters and names such as Earth. This creative layout makes the campus an unexpected place where spatial navigation is playfully linked to cosmic references.
