Campus Ullevål will become a research hub for climate, energy, environmental sciences, and engineering-related geosciences, hosting 1,500 jobs at Sognsveien 72. The project will be one of the first completed in Oslo Science City, the capital’s new innovation district.
Aas-Jakobsen is engaged as the structural engineering consultant (RIB) for cast-in-place structures by the main contractor Skanska, following participation in the preliminary project for NGI.
With Campus Ullevål, NGI’s current office property and commercial site will be utilized more effectively, with high ambitions for sustainable solutions. Upon project completion in 2026, today’s parking lots will transform into a lush, green plaza with public meeting areas and activities for children. The building will include 500 bicycle parking spaces and is situated close to the Ullevål and Forskningsparken public transit hubs, aligning with Oslo’s strategy to increase density along metro lines.
The building’s design optimizes natural light, creating excellent indoor working conditions. Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects has also ensured that the structure casts minimal shadow on neighboring properties, with noise-dampening features facing the community garden and street-level spaces at Ullevål.
The building is founded on a cast-in-place base slab with rock-anchored piles, cast-in-place basement walls, and cast-in-place cores up to the third floor. The remaining structures consist of prefabricated concrete elements, along with some steel components—designed and supplied by Loe Betongelementer AS.
Campus Ullevål meets NGI’s need for larger premises in Oslo and facilitates collaboration with other stakeholders. The Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) will be a significant tenant, already contributing to the project’s development. During the construction phase, NIVA will conduct research on stormwater management and the use of reclaimed water for the operations of Campus Ullevål and the surrounding area. NGI will leverage the construction to research energy absorption through clay and sheet piling.
Campus Ullevål is part of an important urban development project where industry, public administration, and academia collaborate to create a powerhouse for innovation and knowledge sharing. The new building will be owned and operated by NGI and Aspelin Ramm, each holding a 50 percent ownership share.
Aas-Jakobsen is pleased to contribute to the development of a remarkable project that balances urban development with professional interests in the best possible way.
