University of Iceland VR, Engineering and natural sciences complex at University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland
The University of Iceland VR is a complex of three connected buildings on the main campus serving engineering and natural sciences education and research. Each building houses different functions, from laboratory facilities and lecture halls to active research operations and student workspaces.
The complex was built in the 1970s as part of the university's expansion to meet growing demand for scientific and technical education. It became a major center for natural sciences research and teaching in Iceland over the following decades.
The spaces here were historically where mathematics, physics, and chemistry students gathered and collaborated. These rooms shaped generations of scientists who developed their ideas and connections within these halls.
The buildings are actively used during the academic year and house working laboratories, lecture spaces, and research areas. Access to certain areas may be restricted, so it is helpful to check ahead about visiting opportunities and designated walkways.
The facility incorporates virtual reality technology into its teaching methods, allowing students to experience immersive learning for technical subjects. This hands-on approach makes complex engineering concepts more understandable and memorable.
