Mimers Hus, Cultural center in Kungälv Municipality, Sweden

Mimers Hus is a municipal upper-secondary school and knowledge centre in central Kungälv, opened in August 2004. The building also houses adult education, and about 1,600 pupils attend the school. Next to it stands the sports hall Mimershallen, opened in November 2009, with 4,500 square metres, seating for 600 spectators, a cafeteria, staff rooms and a gym; its extension "Tarmen" has a 60-metre running track, a long-jump pit and a handball court.

The building opened in 2004 as a new cultural center and quickly became a major destination for education and culture in the municipality. Its establishment marked a turning point in the local development of public cultural institutions.

Mimers Hus is a municipal upper-secondary school and knowledge centre in central Kungälv, opened in August 2004 when the older Kongahällagymnasiet closed. It teaches around 1,600 pupils, alongside some 400 adults in municipal adult education. The student union, Mimers Hus Elevkår, founded in October 2011, runs themed days, debates, school elections and contests such as Killergame and Nattcupen, and its Tigerjakt race decides who runs out first at graduation.

The facility is easy to access for visitors and offers free wireless connection and computer workstations for working. The library and theater are open daily to the public and it is simple to explore the different areas.

The center uses an automated robot named Tor-In that sorts books and handles returns in the library. This technology makes operations more efficient and is an unusual feature for a cultural facility of this kind.
