Johanneberg, Academic district in Gothenburg, Sweden
Johanneberg is the main campus area for Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, with modern research facilities and student buildings spread across the district. The neighborhood includes laboratories, lecture halls, and gathering spaces designed for teaching and research activities.
The district developed from a residential area in the early 1900s into a center for academic activity through the establishment of university facilities. Over time, more research institutes and academic operations moved to the area.
Student life shapes the neighborhood, with learners from different fields gathering in shared spaces and buildings throughout the district. This close proximity creates an atmosphere where academic exchange happens naturally as part of everyday routines.
The district connects to central Gothenburg by several tram and bus lines, with main stops at Chalmers and Kapellplatsen stations. The best time to visit is during lecture periods, when the campus is active and many buildings are accessible.
A network of boreholes reaches deep into bedrock to provide sustainable heating for Science Park buildings. This hidden system shapes the environmental approach of the campus even though visitors rarely see it.
