Nordberg Student Village

About the project

The project provides 467 brand-new student residences, consisting of 419 studio apartments, 9 one-bedroom apartments, and 9 shared housing units, each with 4–5 rooms.Construction started after the demolition work was completed.The new Nordberg consists of three new buildings with green outdoor spaces in peaceful surroundings. With the number 25 bus right outside the door, it’s a short trip up to Sognsvann and Nordmarka, and down to Ullevål, the metro station, shops, and cafés.Nordberg Student Village was originally built in the 1960s. The need for a complete renovation led to the decision to replace the old row houses with new buildings.Skanska is the main contractor for the project, and A-lab is the architect.

Environment and sustainability at the core of design and execution

The measures in the project will reduce total climate emissions by 30 percent in accordance with the FutureBuilt Zero standard, calculated over a 60-year lifecycle.Among other things, the concrete will meet at least low-carbon class B, and the reinforcement steel will consist of 100 percent recycled materials.The project also includes innovative sustainable solutions such as green sedum roofs, the use of fossil-free construction machinery, low waste volumes, and a high degree of waste sorting to minimize environmental impact during the construction process.
