The project will feature office spaces, areas for interaction and research, and a canteen for employees and other users of the campus.

Close interaction is our recipe for a successful project for all stakeholders, and we really appreciate the confidence shown in us and the contract to implement yet another sustainable project for SINTEF.”
Preparatory work of the site is already underway, with construction to commence in 2023.
