About Campus Tensta

Campus Tensta comprises 21,000 square metres divided into two buildings, the education building and Tensta Träff. Most tenants are now in place and we look forward to welcoming more businesses that want to become part of our campus.

Careful renovation of unique environments

Since Hemsö took possession of the property in spring 2022, the educational building has been carefully renovated and adapted for modern teaching. We have preserved the original architectural expression of the upper secondary school while making the necessary improvements to meet today’s educational needs.

Tensta Träff and the neighbouring Pilparken are part of Campus Tensta and will be developed in a similar way – carefully and with great respect for the history and original idea of the place. The refurbishment of the park, including a larger outdoor stage, was completed for the autumn term 2024 and was inaugurated in October. It is gratifying that the campus is once again bustling with activity, with the first tenants in place and more on the way.

Hemsö’s vision

Access to good education is a key factor for optimism about the future and positive life choices. Our vision is to create Campus Tensta – an educational campus where students of different ages and from all over Stockholm can meet. We want the premises to house upper secondary schools, adult education, and even higher education, together with activities for culture, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

School during the day and community activities in the evening create a sense of security with life and activity throughout most of the day. Through this long-term and significant investment in Tensta, we can work with our partners to make a difference for students, their families, and society at large.
