FROM KÅREN TO AKADEMIEN NIGHTCLUB

The nightclub open up in september 1990. The name of the club back then was ”KÅREN” from Kårhuset. 1999 the name changed after a contest to Akademien. Many students today call the club AKA.

From the start the club was quite small. One bar with a dance floor. During the years Akademien
have been rebuilt and expanded to one of the biggest nightclubs in Sweden.

Today Akademien consists of two dance floors and four bars. The first dance floor, Brazil Bar, here the Djs play party music from the classics to modern. This dance floor always have our signatur track Stad i Ljus by Tommy Körberg as its last track of the night.

And the second Tokyo Bar, here the the Djs play house/club music.

In the dinner room, Frankfurt, most of the events arranged by students are held.

On the second floor Akademien has a lounge area with a big bar, London Lounge, with a more soft approach. Akademien has an approximated cap at 1000 guests.

During the Kick Off weeks Akademien expands and uses the entire street outside to welcome all new and old students back to a new semester. The out door area have sponsor lounge/tent, extra toilets, food trucks, coffee cart, bar, a big tent with a stage.
