Furnishings and equipment

The majority of the furnishings on university premises belong to the university.

In public areas, furnishings may not be moved with regard to fire evacuation routes, accessibility and general access. Floor-standing plants must not be moved for reasons of care and daylight.

In office premises, loose furnishings belong to the room, for example curtains. These should not be taken when moving to other premises. When moving, ergonomically adapted furnishings and equipment for individual members of staff may be brought along. When moving from special-purpose premises with operation-specific furnishings, equipment and work materials, the unit in question must ensure these are included in the move. See also guidelines for the baseline standard for furnishings and equipment at Örebro University (Grundstandard för inredning och utrustning vid Örebro universitet) on the university’s intranet (in Swedish).

Private furnishings

Private furniture, rugs and curtains are not permitted in the university’s premises. Personal furnishings such as lighting and plants should be avoided.

For student premises, provisions in separate tenancy agreements apply.

Assembly and installation

It is important that the university does not incur unnecessary costs for cleaning, maintenance and repairs of interior materials and surfaces. This means that you should not screw, nail, glue or tape on or to walls, doors or glass panels, etc. Assembly or installation should be carried out in consultation with Campus Services. For safety reasons this applies in particular to the installation of furnishings and fittings.

Setting up temporary furnishings/equipment

At fairs, events and external lettings, temporary furniture such as standing-height tables and brochure stands must be placed in designated areas. Fire evacuation routes, accessibility and general access must be taken into account. After the event, the area must be restored and furniture returned to a clean and orderly condition.

Advent lighting

Advent lighting in working premises, restaurants, etc., should have LED lighting.

Each organisational unit is responsible for the purchase, maintenance and storage of Advent lighting, including light sources.

Art

All art at Örebro University is government-owned, with the university and the university’s property owners as administrators and the Public Art Agency Sweden as the supervisory authority. Art is placed in public areas, large assembly rooms and staff areas (corridors and staff rooms). Art is not placed in individual offices. Moving artworks marked with an ID number is not permitted. If a move of an artwork is required, Campus Services must be contacted for consultation.

Gifts and donations

For questions relating to gifts or donations, see the university’s external website. Where gifts or donations affect furnishings or premises, this must be coordinated with Campus Services.
