Rhodos – a colossal climate-friendly student housing area
Welcome to wonderful Rhodos, which was opened in 2024 as a part of Sweden’s largest campus area, located at Kämnärsvägen in north-east Lund. Here, you will find tasteful and well-planned architecture that works wonders for wellbeing and health, and a verdant outdoor environment that promotes both togetherness and biodiversity. You can go to our Rhodos with an especially clear conscience, as the area is an exemplary model in terms of sustainability. Among other things, its construction involved a strikingly low climate impact, and the total energy consumption was far lower than the requirements for new construction.
The quarter consists of one high-rise building, one large L-shaped building and two intertwined buildings with balcony access, all of varying designs, heights and sizes. The exteriors of the buildings have natural colour tones with facades characterised by recurrent, triangular bay windows. The green courtyard is pleasantly framed with plenty of places for activities and socialising. You will discover a beautiful and secluded orangery, tastefully integrated into the landscape, built from reused windows and heated by residual heat from the laundry room. The orangery is open from 07:00 to 21:00. Rhodos is directly adjacent to Campuskilen, a park-like thoroughfare area that winds through the city district and includes beautiful mature trees, an outdoor gym, a boule court and places for barbecuing and chilling out.
The 186 apartments provide accommodation for 269 students. There are one-room apartments for those who thrive best living on their own and larger apartments for 2-3 friends who want to share accommodation. The three-room apartments have a dishwasher.
At Rhodos, you are close to Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and School of Economics and Management. Student nation life, the university’s departments and Lund city centre are all within easy cycling distance. The local area offers, among other things, a supermarket, pharmacy, parcel collection centre, gym, swimming pool, green areas and jogging tracks.
The laundry room is at Kämnärsvägen 26. You also have access to the games room at Kämnärsvägen 49 F (with table tennis table, pool table and dartboard), the hobby room at Kämnärsvägen 37 and the study room at Pireus (Kämnärsvägen 7 and 9).
The rent includes electricity, hot water, detergent, storage unit, your own cycle rack place under cover and internet (1 Gb). There are no wall outlets for TV.
At AF Bostäder, you always live in a smoking-free environment. This means smoking is not permitted in either the accommodation or in communal spaces such as stairwells and laundry rooms.
