A decision has been made that the veterinary training and the Norwegian Veterinary Institute shall move from Adamstuen in Oslo and be jointly located at NMBU in Ås as a result of the merger of the Veterinary University College and the University for the Environment and Life Sciences to Norwegian University of Life Sciences NMBU. The Ministry of Education (Kunnskapsdepartementet) has given Statsbygg the assignment of implementing the construction project.The Directorate of Public Construction and Property has worked on this project for several years, and the construction of the 63 000 m2 large veterinary building for veterinary training and The Norwegian Veterinary Institute has now begun. The plans for the project are being prepared in close consultation with the users. This is the largest total development in the university and university college sector, ever in Norway. Altogether, the new buildings have 74 000 m2.In the new veterinary building, there will also be traditional teaching premises, offices, library and canteen, also special areas such as laboratories, animal stables, animal hospital, aquariums etc. will be established. Safeguarding infection control concerns in relation to the environment and internal work environment requires comprehensive and advanced technical installations. In addition, good constructional solutions are required to separate areas where infectious materials are handled and other areas.Enova has agreed to support the project, in regard to the passive house programme. According to the plan, the project should be finished in 2019.
