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]

History

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.[3] It was first inaugurated in 1997,[4] at Polacksbacken, 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).[5]

Ångström was erected south-west of the regiment site, initially primarily to accommodate a clean room. 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.[3][6]

New Ångström

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 inaugarated by the Crown Princess of Sweden Victoria.[4][7][8][9] 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. They reported in 2018 that they invested 1.2 billion SEK towards the project.[10]

Departments

The represented departments at Ångström Laboratory include:[11]

  • The Department of Physics and Astronomy
  • The Department of Information Technology
  • The Department of Chemistry – Ångström
  • The Department of Mathematics
  • The Department of Electrical Engineering
