Classrooms
In KTH's scheduling system TimeEdit, you can now find unbooked classrooms that you can use as study places. You cannot book the classrooms, but you can use them as study places when they are not used.
The classrooms are located on KTH’s various campuses. You will find links to them when you are logged into KTH’s scheduling system TimeEdit.
Computer rooms and printers for students are located throughout KTH Campus, varying in size and operating system. Here you can find a list of all printers and computer rooms, along with information about whether they use KTH Windows, KTH Ubuntu, or KTH Mac, as well as their opening hours.
There are more students on campus than before following the moves from Södertälje and Kista. This means increased demand for the most popular study spots, such as the Library, and the E and D Buildings. At the same time, there are many other great areas around campus that are often less used. Here are some tips to help you get started exploring new study spaces on campus.
1. Do it together
Bring a classmate and try studying in a building you don’t usually visit, for example Q Building or M Building. Exploring a new environment together makes it both easier and more fun to get started. You can compare impressions and maybe discover a spot that works especially well for both of you. A short session of about an hour is enough to get a feel for the space.
2. Start from your needs
Need calm and focus? Choose a quiet zone with natural light and power outlets. Studies show that environments with good lighting, ventilation, and low noise levels help concentration. Planning to discuss or work in a group? Choose an open area or a group room where conversation is allowed. Switching between quiet and social environments helps keep your energy up.
3. Make changing places part of your routine
If you usually study in the U Building in the morning, try switching environments after lunch — why not V Building? A change of scenery can give you new energy and help you refocus. After doing it a few times, it will feel natural to move between different spaces depending on your task and mood.
What do the different types of places mean?
In collaboration with THS, the Property Department at KTH has developed a definition of a study place.
Study place for one person: seat, table approx. 60x70 cm with space for a computer, notepad and literature. It does not need to have an electrical outlet.
Group work place: Group room or space for 4-8 people at a table + chairs. The room has an electrical outlet, a whiteboard, and, in some cases, a monitor. Group work places are found in individual rooms and public areas such as corridors, entrances and conservatories. The places can, in some cases, be booked.
Reading place: Armchair without a table surface, calm/quiet sound level. It does not need to have an electrical outlet. Occurs in public areas such as corridors, libraries and reading rooms.
Informal study places: places with different designs, such as standing areas in cafes, restaurants, entrances, and corridors.
Can’t access one of the rooms?
As a KTH student, you have access to all of these spaces with your KTH access card. If your card doesn’t grant you access, please contact
KTH Entré
