Kringsjå Student Village

This is how it is at Kringsjå Student Village

• We are building three new buildings at Kringsjå

  The buildings will be located on what are currently the two large car parks in the north-east part of the student village. The construction project is estimated to be completed in January 2028.

  Preparatory work

  From April 7 to May 30, 2026, we will carry out preparatory work at the car parks:

  • Excavation work will take place from April 7 to May 30

  • Installation of tower cranes with lights will take place from April 13 to April 24

  • Concrete and casting work will take place from April 13 to May 30

  The work listed above will cause noise. There will also be occasional piling, blasting and rock-breaking work. This may result in intermittent significant noise.

  Construction of the new buildings

  We will construct one building on what is currently the small car park between Olav M. Troviks vei 8–10 and 18, and two buildings on what is currently the large car park by Olav M. Troviks vei 2–4, 6 and 8–10.

  Construction of the three buildings will begin on 1 June 2026. According to the plan, the building near 8–10 and 18 will be completed in August 2027, and the buildings near 2–4, 6 and 8–10 will be completed in January 2028.

  Drilling of energy wells

  We will drill energy wells at each of the three new buildings. Progress depends on ground conditions. The drilling will cause significant noise.

  Other consequences

  The construction project will result in periods of significant noise and dust. There will be traffic to and from the construction sites. Access may be reduced at times, but it will always be possible to reach all buildings. There will also be light from the tower cranes.

  There will be short periods without water and power when the new buildings are connected to the existing water supply and electricity grid. These will be announced in advance.

  Working hours and noise

  Working hours are Monday - Friday between 07:00 and 17:00. Noisy work outside these hours, and particularly noisy activities, will be notified separately in advance.

  There will be a lot of transport to and from the building. Access to neighbouring buildings may be reduced at times, but it will always be possible to reach all buildings.

  Replacement of elevators in Olav M. Troviks vei 2 - 4

  We are replacing the elevators in Olav M. Troviks vei 2 in the second half of 2025, and the elevators in Olav M. Troviks vei 4 during 2026. The elevators will be out of service while the work is ongoing.

  We have opened a temporary passage between the corridors in buildings 2 and 4 while the elevators are being replaced, so that tenants without a working elevator can use the elevators in the other building.

  Elevator replacement in Olav M. Troviks vei 4

  Work on the elevators in building 4 will take place: February 2 - May 22.

  The elevators must be controlled and approved before they can be used. This is expected to happen by June 12, 2026.

  Tenants in building 4 will get temporary access to the main entrance of building 2 during the works. It will only be possible to walk between the buildings from the 2nd floor and up, and tenants in building 4 will only have access to the floor they live on.

  Working hours are Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 17:00. There will be construction noise throughout the period, with significant noise during the first 12 weeks of the elevator replacement.
