The Ångström Laboratory (Swedish: Ångströmslaboratoriet) is a facility of Uppsala University. It hosts multiple research laboratories and departments of natural science and engineering.[1] [2]
The facility is named after Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström and his son Knut Ångström, both of whom were professors at Uppsala University in the 19th century. It was first inaugurated in 1997,[3] at, next to a site that historically served the purpose of training the Uppland Regiment from 1680–1912. This site later evolved to house the university's Information Technology Centre (ITC).
Ångström was erected south-west of the regiment site, initially primarily to accommodate a cleanroom. This first construction is referred to as stage 1, including buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. In year 2000, stage 2 was realized, including buildings 6 and 8. Building 7 was realized in 2006, and in 2013 the FREIA laboratory was constructed between buildings 5 and 7.[4]
The Ångström Laboratory initially consisted of eight buildings. However a new building 9 was completed in September 2020. Then, finally on 13 May 2023 the new front building 10 was inaugurated by the Crown Princess of Sweden Victoria.[5] [6] [7] Together these two new houses form the so-called "New Ångström".
This New Ångström (houses 9 and 10) was built and funded by Akademiska Hus, a Swedish state-owned enterprise. In 2018 the enterpreise reported that they had invested 1.2 billion SEK towards the project.[8]
