Urbika added this project
In the fall of 2005 Østfold University moved into its new premises in Halden, Norway. Central to the architectural strategy are the qualities of the surrounding landscape and a limited palette of materials. The project -a close integration of new and existing buildings- emphasizes the contrast between different volumes by using simple geometrical prisms, lines and planes to form a complex matrix of functions and spaces. The school is dimensioned for about 3000 users and consists of the following faculties: Faculty of Social Sciences and Foreign Languages, Faculty of Computer Sciences and the Faculty of Education. The existing building was constructed in the seventies and required a considerable and immediate upgrade to meet the school's present and future needs. The new building establishes a functional framework that allows the school to develop furthermore. It exposes the central common areas and allows a continuous passage throughout the building complex.
