About the area
The new accommodation center KI Residence Solna was built in 2021. It is located right on the campus in Solna so you will always be close to studies or work. Apart from its close proximity to the learning facilities, our vision when planning this area was to provide our tenants with an environment that offers opportunities to have a great university experience also during the spare time.
One of the concepts of KI Residence Solna is to facilitate for the tenants to socialize and get to know each other. There is a common living space on the entrance floor in each of the three buildings, that invites tenants to hang out and meet. All tenants staying in this area will have access to the common living space in all three buildings.
