Västmanlands-Dala nation, mostly referred to only as V-Dala, is one of the 13 student nations at Uppsala University in Sweden. The nation, intended for students from the provinces of Dalarna and Västmanland – these provinces making up most of the diocese of Västerås – was founded in 1639. The first inspektor of the nation was Olof Rudbeck the Elder, appointed in 1663. The current inspektor (as of 2021[update]) is Johan Tysk, professor, Department of Mathematics, Uppsala University.

Architecture

The house of Västmanlands-Dala nation is one of three buildings in Sweden designed by the world-famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. The house was built in 1965, and was paid for by fund-raising in Dalarna and Västmanland.
