Grand Opening of the Science Library, March 14
Eight science libraries at the Blindern campus are being merged to create the new Science Library in the Vilhelm Bjerknes building. In the modernised building we will offer state-of-the-art-technology, longer opening hours and as many as 500 work places. Welcome to the grand opening on Wednesday March 14!
The library and student house of the future is ready at the heart of Blindern. The best of the modernist architecture of the 1960s has been enriched with a new artistic idiom in support of new learning methods. The grand opening coincides with Vilhelm Bjerknes’ 150th birthday.
