Communal house for all residents
Where you have a common room elsewhere, you have a whole house at Klokkergården! The entire Klokkergården is built up as a small village, with 21 small houses. Skomakeren now appears as an inviting and user-friendly house, free to book for the approximately 180 students who live at Klokkergården.
This entire house can be used for parties and fun by the students who live at Klokkergården!
The students' choices
The renovation of Skomakeren is the result of an innovation project with students, with a focus on developing SSN's student housing. Three different concepts came out of the project, and the common room concept was called "The place to be". Skomakeren is no longer just Skomakeren, but "The place to be"!
The house contains a kitchen with fridge / freezer, oven / hob, microwave and dishwasher, a large living room with lots of seating and two large screens, separate toilets and a nice little loft with a LARGE sofa.
Students living at Klokkergården may contact their welfare host to book Skomakeren.
