  • UTN must leave its current house Uthgård by May 31, 2026.
  • Student sections are protesting the move, citing lack of consultation in the decision-making process.

A court has given approval for Uppsala Teknolog- och Naturvetarkår (UTN) to move to a new student union house in Kåbo, according to reports from Uppsala Nya Tidning. The student union, which represents approximately 11,000 technology and science students at Uppsala University, must leave its current house Uthgård on Polacksbacken by May 31. " However, the move has sparked protests from student sections who feel excluded from decision-making processes.

" The university has proposed the move as a cost-saving measure, requiring student sections to leave their current premises in the old red villas near Ångström Laboratory.

This is a great joy for the students.
