Renovation of the Student Residences – Mission Accomplished
With the Iceland House we have finished the renovation of all the student residents. This has been a comprehensive, two years job with many involved that aimed to extend the life of the building by another 30 years, provide universal access, and create a good living environment for the coming generations with a focus on sustainability.
We would like to thank all our partners for the good cooperation throughout the project period and the great results:
SWECO – design / consulting

Fristad Elektro – electronics
Malemester Arne Kalstad – painting
