The Student Council celebrates the milestone that has been reached with the purchase of Bændahöllin, otherwise known as Hótel Saga, which will now finally be used for the University of Iceland’s and the Icelandic Student Services operations. There is great anticipation for having the School of Education on the central university campus, as well as for providing an increased supply of housing for students with just over 110 new studio apartments in close proximity to the university.

This idea, which came to light within the university community, offered new opportunities to integrate the campus, unite the student body and expand services on the campus.

The Student Council sincerely congratulates the university community and looks forward with optimism, as the future includes further development with sustainability in mind, for the benefit of both students and staff.
