About Chalmers Student Housing

A Legacy of Student Living Since 1961

Founded on June 19, 1961, on the initiative of the Chalmers Student Union and in collaboration with the City of Gothenburg, the Chalmers Student Housing Foundation has been dedicated to providing high-quality student accommodation.
Our journey began with the construction of 650 student apartments at Emilsborg on Gibraltargatan, completed in the fall of 1963. Since then, we have continued to expand and develop modern student housing to meet growing demands.
