After the upper secondary school closed in 2016, the buildings were renovated and reopened on 9 November 2017 as Komvux under the current name Campus Risbergska.

The high school was given the name Risbergska Gymnasium in 1966, when it was located at Oskarsparken [sv] in the inner city.

It was expanded in 1924 to include secondary education, which in 1931 became public under the name högre allmänna läroverket för flickor ("girls' school").

Risbergska Gymnasium is named after Emilie Risberg (1815–1890) who founded Örebro Elementary School for Girls in 1863.

From 1868, the school was housed in Videstrandska Gården on the corner of Olaigatan and Faktorigatan, but moved in 1904 to a property at Oskarsparken, designed by city architect Magnus Dahlander [sv].

Karolinska Gymnasium had 800 students, all boys, and there was no point in increasing the number or giving girls admission.

Frustrated that the city council did nothing about the matter, the board of the private Risbergska School took the initiative to start teaching girls after the sixth grade from the autumn semester of 1924, which corresponded to the first year of the upper secondary school's Latin line (without Greek).

The school lacked the right to graduate, i.e., the right to award a matriculation examination, so the girls had to take the final exam at Karolinska Gymnasium.

City architect Georg Arn [sv] was commissioned to design a new school building, which was inaugurated on 27 October 1938.

In various stages from 1955 to 1960, pavilions with more classrooms were added, and additional premises were rented from the Technical High School (now Rudbecksgymnasiet).

The premises also housed the National High School for the deaf and hearing impaired as well as education for students with autism.

In the fall of 2017, Campus Risbergska was inaugurated on the premises, with an expanded learning centre from the summer of 2018.
