The HDK building

HDK is situated in the heart of Gothenburg, next to the Röhsska museum for design and crafts. The house was built specially for our school 1904, with support from Göteborgs Slöjdförening. Architect: Hans Hedlund.

Here, we have lecture rooms, work shops, studios, library, café, exhibition hall and workrooms for students and staff. Being a student at HDK, you are provided with an individual work place and 24-hour access to the shool's facilities.This is our way of showing we trust our students and respect their study conditions.

During the years, the building has been adapted to the changes of the school and extensions have been made. Right now we are in the middle of a big reconstruction of our main entrance. The aim is to open up even more for visitors and make it easier to enter with both wheelchair and pram. This reconstruction is estimated to be finished after the turn of the year 2009.
