Nymble

Nymble is a student building at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm with straight geometric lines and extensive glass surfaces reflecting 1930s modernist design. Inside, you will find study areas, conference rooms, and a restaurant serving the student community.

The building was designed in 1928 by architects Sven Markelius and Uno Åhrén after winning a competition held by the student union. A significant expansion followed in 1952 by Markelius and Bengt Lindroos, adding new spaces while maintaining the original design language.

The building serves as the main meeting place where students gather for meals, study sessions, and informal socializing. Throughout the day, you will find people using its spaces for events, lectures, and conversations.

The building sits near the main KTH campus with easy access and clear signage on the grounds. Nearby parking and public transport connections make it straightforward to reach the location.

The name Nymble comes from Greek mythology referring to water nymphs, reflecting the artistic aspirations of early student culture at the institute. This choice adds a cultural layer to what might otherwise be simply a functional student space.
