ByggVesta’s project Colonia II in Linköping has been awarded the 2021 Student Housing Prize. Five projects were nominated for the award, which was established by the Studentbostadsföretagen industry organization and presented for the first time.
The award criteria focus on innovation, sustainability, and design that meets the needs of the student demographic and supports higher education.
The winning student housing project provides students with a flexible living environment that encourages both studying and social interaction. Low energy consumption and multiple shared-use features give the project a distinctly sustainable profile.
“We are incredibly proud and happy to receive the Student Housing Prize. Our flagship project, Colonia II at Campus Valla, is the result of creative innovation and a long-term ownership perspective. Through collaboration between the entire ByggVesta team, the students, and our partners, we have created a modern campus community. Colonia is truly one of the student areas we’re most proud of — where social connection, safety, and sustainable living are at the heart of it all,” says Marit Appelgren, CEO ByggVesta Fastighetsförvaltning.
