Abstract

The project site, which until recently hosted the Green Innovation Park, is located centrally on the
SLU campus in Alnarp. In its current state the site reflects neither the curriculum of SLU nor the
mission statement. In order to rectify this situation a research-based design approach is employed to
transform the site into an exemplary piece of green infrastructure. A survey is carried out into the
research conducted and education offered at SLU. Based on these results and a thorough analysis of
the site, design modules are developed to supply the best possible design solution for every situation
prevalent at the site. These content-based design modules are then added to an overlying structure
which provides cohesion for the design. The result is a design which provides multiple ecosystem
services and reflects the research conducted and education offered at SLU. It serves as a showcase
for the research and a real-life lab and case study for the students, while at the same time being an
attractive site inviting students and visitors alike to linger.
