Goteborgs Universitetsaula
Vasaparken, Gothenburg, SwedenTel: +46 31 773 1000 • Web: Visit this site »
Gothenburg University College was founded by a private initiative in 1891. Sixteen years later, in 1907, it received university status. The university college used to rent a wooden building at the intersection of Sodra vagen and Parkgatan. The university building in Vasaparken was opened in 1907, but the university grew quickly, and the building became too small. The solution was to rent or buy premises in the Lorensberg area, within walking distance of the new university library in Renstromsparken. In 1954, the university college was nationalised and adopted the new name of The University of Gothenburg.
The university building in Vasaparken is a magnificent building with quadratic granite pillars. On the sides of the grand stairs stand two lion statues. Today, The University of Gothenburg hosts a variety of public events in the old building.
