Blåsenhus

Blåsenhus, Educational building in Uppsala, Sweden

Blåsenhus is Uppsala University's campus for pedagogy and psychology, located southwest of Uppsala Castle and facing Segerstedthuset. It opened in early 2010 and holds around 2,500 students and 400 staff. The building was awarded Upsala Nya Tidning's city environment prize in 2011.

The site belonged to the state since the 17th century as part of Uppsala Castle's park. In the 1960s it held temporary student housing, demolished in the 1970s. A 2004 proposal named the new campus Pedagogikum, later changed to Blåsenhus. Construction began on 20 April 2007, and the campus opened in spring 2010, inaugurated on 11 March.

The campus was to be called Pedagogikum, after the Seminarium Pædagogicum, a 19th-century university institute; the name was later changed to Blåsenhus. Today around 2,500 students and 400 staff study and work here, training as teachers, human resources specialists, behavioural scientists and psychologists.

Blåsenhus lies southwest of Uppsala Castle, opposite Segerstedthuset, and has been in use since spring semester 2010. The adjacent Campus1477 gym opened in January 2010. The building is a university campus, so access to teaching areas follows university terms rather than tourist hours.

The site was part of the Uppsala Castle grounds and one of the royal residence's parks from the 17th century. In the 1960s it held temporary student housing built in 1964 to ease the city's housing shortage, demolished in the 1970s. The campus was first proposed in January 2004 under the name Pedagogikum, after the 19th-century Seminarium Pædagogicum, before becoming Blåsenhus.
