Reportage from Sofienberg Student House
This is how it is at Sofienberg Student House
Construction Work Near Sofienberg student house
Oslo Municipality will upgrade the public water and sewage pipes in Sverdrups gate.
The work will start in spring 2026 and is expected to be completed by autumn 2027.
There may be short periods of water outages during the works. These will normally last less than 6 hours and should be notified in advance.
The work will cause inconveniences such as reduced accessibility, construction traffic, noise, vibrations, dust, possible odours, and temporary brown water from the taps. Blasting work will be carried out in certain areas along the route.

SiO has kindergartens at UiO and OsloMet with services much more adapted to student life than what you’ll find in other kindergartens. Here you can read more about admission, prices, and our kindergartens.
