Replacement of windows

We are replacing all the windows in Bjølsen Student Village. We started in October 2024, and we plan to complete the project in autumn 2025. We are doing this to reduce heat loss, improve indoor climate, and significantly decrease energy loss. This will contribute to making the residences more sustainable.

Working hours and noise

The working hours are between 07:00 - 17:00. There will be noise in the student village throughout the period, and residents will be especially affected by the noise when work is being carried out in their own building.

External scaffolding will also be used, and containers with windows will be placed outside the entrance areas.

We plan to spend one day replacing windows in each residence, and another day at a later time for completion of the work.
