3MASTER PLAN FOR UiO’S PROPERTIES – JUNE 2015

The University of Oslo (UiO) endeavours to be a leading international university with a modern learning envi-ronment, outstanding research community and extensive communication with the outside world. Our premises must enable us to realize these ambitions. We will create space for an outstanding, green university – and for Oslo, the city of knowledge.

Our day-to-day environment affects the quality of our learning environment and research communities, and hence well-being and job satisfaction. This does not only refer to auditoriums, reading rooms, laboratories and offices, but also beautiful outdoor spaces, good social meeting places and well-functioning services. The stu-dents of today study, work and interact in different ways from previous generations, and this brings with it new demands on the environment.

UiO owns 472 000 sq.m. and leases 110 000 sq.m. spread over the different campuses; UiO:Downtown, UiO:Blindern and UiO:Tøyen, plus several buildings in Norway and abroad. UiO is one of the largest players in the property market in Norway. Much of the building stock is run-down and outdated. An extensive boost is needed to adapt and modernize our properties.

UiO aims to become a greener university. This means new energy solutions and more efficient use of space. Our buildings must meet international environmental standards. The modernization of existing buildings and build-ing of new ones will therefore be subject to environmental requirements.

Ever since the buildings on Karl Johans gate were completed in 1852, UiO has been an important part of the city. Oslo is expanding rapidly, and radical changes are taking place around several of the campuses. UiO wants to continue to make its mark on the capital and to invite the city’s residents to take part in everything that this great university has to offer. This will help to define the role our campuses should have in the cityscape.

This master plan for UiO’s properties provides an overview of the current situation, where we want to be – in both the short and long term – and how we intend to get there. The document lays down overarching guide-lines and priorities for achieving our ambitions. Major investments lie ahead. Funding is the biggest challenge to managing the huge maintenance backlog. We must work systematically to secure appropriate sources of fun-ding for our property operations.

Challenging and exciting tasks will ensue from the master plan: we need to plan important building projects, as well as find ways to finance and execute them. However, we must also have a realistic understanding of what is involved in modernizing UiO buildings in line with the ambition described by the government in its signals to the sector, and what it will mean if we do not succeed.

4 MASTER PLAN FOR UiO’S PROPERTIES – JUNE 2015


Mandate and work processUiO endeavours to be a leading international univer-sity with a modern learning environment, outstanding research community and extensive communication with the outside world. Our building stock must allow these ambitions to be met. The new master plan for UiO’s properties provides the framework for how UiO can develop the properties and campuses to make them suitable for future use. The ambition for the master plan has been to design an overarching steering document with clearer guidelines for UiO’s property development in the short term (2015–2020), medium term (2020–2027) and long term (2027–2040). This master plan for UiO’s properties provides an overview of the current situation, where we want to be – in both the short and long term – and how we intend to get there. The docu-ment lays down overarching guidelines and priorities for achieving our ambitions, and discusses and recom-mends financial solutions and other frameworks.

Delimitation: Norwegian Standard 3454 Life Cycle Costs for Construction Works bre-aks down the work with properties into five main categories: management, operation, maintenance, development and service related to buildings. This work has focused on how UiO’s property portfolio should be managed, maintained and developed. Ope-ration and service are not covered.

Work on a new master plan started in 2012 and has taken somewhat longer than originally plan-ned due to reorganization of the Estate Department. Estate Director John Skogen has been responsible for finalising the new master plan. The composition of the working group has varied during the period. The following have participated in the work: Seni-or Adviser Inger Stray Lien and Staff Director Britt Amundsen Hoel, who in addition to participating in the work, compiled the document; Section Manager Isabell Lexow; Operation and Maintenance Director Åke Appelqvist; Planning and Project Director Amund Alm; Project Manager Magnus Næss; Architect Kris-

tin Bauck; and several former employees of the Estate Department have also contributed.

Expert assessments have been performed by various sources, and Multiconsult AS has provided two reports. Architect Kristin Bauck has provided figures illustra-ting, among other things, the need for modernization.

Seminars have been held for faculty management on several occasions. In the winter of 2015, meetings were held with management from all of the faculti-es, museums and the University Library, where they gave their input to the master plan. Several of the faculties and museums submitted written input to the Estate Department after the meetings. Corresponding meetings have been held with the leadership of Stu-dent Life in Oslo and Akershus (SiO). Students’ views have been heard in two meetings with the Student Parliament and in interviews with individual students. The unions have been kept informed about the work by the University Director and through the monthly meetings with the Estate Department managers.

In compiling the master plan, UiO has also consul-ted external advisers:

• Svein Bjørberg, professor and adviser in pro-perty management, has been responsible for Multiconsult’s reports and been a good discussion partner for the working group.

• Christian Joys, property developer, has given advice on business and financing models.

• Henrik Syse, philosopher, has given advice on campus development and attractiveness.

• Idar Kreutzer, member of UiO Board and head of Finance Norway, has given advice on financing.

• Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, member of UiO Board and head of Snøhetta, has given advice on property development in general and sustainable property development in particular.

The work on the master plan was carried out in a clo-se collaboration with UiO management and the Estate Department, and has been the subject of discussion in the rector and dean meetings on several occasions. The Board has been informed about the work and its progress eight times in the period 2013–2015. In the winter of 2015, a Board seminar was held on the mas-

Space for an outstanding, green university – and for Oslo, the city of knowledge

Definitions from NS 3454: Management entails leading, planning and controlling the work on buildings.

Maintenance entails activities to maintain the building and its technical installations at a stipulated level of quality.

Development entails maintaining the building’s useful value over time.

ter plan. The topics covered include campus develop-ment and the development potential of Lower Blin-dern when the areas are released, professionalization of the property activities, financing options, space efficiency and the current internal lease arrangement. As the work has progressed, the Board has given its advice on the direction of the work and focus areas.

The master plan for UiO’s properties will be revi-ewed every five years.

Guidelines from authorities and management Section 4–3 of the Universities and University Colleg-es Act stipulates requirements for the student’s phys-ical learning environment. It states that the Board is responsible for ensuring that premises are designed and equipped for the activities carried out therein, and that the said premises are properly maintained. Sec-tion 4–4 of the Working Environment Act, Require-ments for the physical working environment, states that structural conditions must be fully satisfactory with regard to employees’ health, environment, safety and welfare.

The Technical Building Regulations (TEK10) stipulate that measures must be planned, designed and executed based on considerations of good visual quality, univer-

sal design and in a way that meets the technical require-ments for safety, environment, health and energy. The regulations govern a number of conditions related to the modernization and development of buildings.

The long-term plan for research and education, Report to the Storting no. 7 (2014–2015), states that stu-dents and researchers should have access to buildings and infrastructure that are of the highest quality. Mod-ern and suitable buildings and state-of-the-art research infrastructure are crucial for developing world-leading academic environments. The new Life Science Centre is referred to as one of two building projects in the plan.

The Estate Department reports directly to the Uni-versity Director at UiO. Section 10–3 of the Universities and University Colleges Act states that the University Director is responsible for the allocation of resources and property in accordance with the resolutions adopt-ed by the Board and is authorized to issue binding doc-uments concerning the institution’s properties. The Act also has a separate section on property manage-ment (12–3), which states that the Board of an insti-tution that manages its own properties may itself dis-pose of real property with the consent of the Ministry or according to general rules issued by the Ministry. It further stipulates that the Ministry may issue rules

concerning the renting and letting of real property. UiO is one of five institutions that manages its own prop-erties. The others are the University of Bergen (UiB), the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).

The Office of the Auditor General has mapped the situation for all of the institutions in the higher educa-tion sector, and submitted its report to the Ministry of Education and Research in the autumn of 2012, with the following conclusions:

• A third of the State’s property portfolio in the higher education sector is considered to be in poor condition. Statsbygg mainly provides value-pre-serving maintenance and has a building stock that is in good condition.

• The educational institutions that manage their own properties do not generally have a long-term strategy or work systematically with regard to maintenance.

• There are weaknesses in management informa-tion in areas that are important for ensuring val-ue-preserving maintenance.

• There is a risk that the State’s lease arrangement will not be sufficient to deal with future challenges.

• Central authorities can improve their follow-up of the management of the existing building stock.

One of the recommendations by the Office of the Audi-tor General is that the educational institutions manag-ing their own property draw up clear goals for tech-nical conditions on which to base the maintenance work, as well as long-term plans for value-preserving maintenance and development of the building stock.

The Official Norwegian Report (NOU 22: 2004) Well-maintained buildings for all emphasizes that the distribution of responsibilities and duties must be clearly defined, and recommends that a maintenance strategy is devised in order to ensure that the value for owners and users is maintained over time.

Creativity, knowledge and the environment are key elements used to illustrate the future image of Oslo in a new municipal plan Oslo mot 2030: smart, trygg og grønn (Oslo towards 2030: smart, safe and green). The plan gives the city’s largest institution of knowledge a natural position as a contributor to urban development, which is becoming increasingly

common internationally for universities. Oslo Munici-pality’s environmental policy describes an offensive and innovative approach to the major global environ-mental and climate challenges. UiO aims to be a key partner in achieving the goals set in the environmen-tal field. Through the climate network Næring for Kli-ma, and through participation in national and inter-national networks, UiO will play a role in achieving the goals aimed at meeting the environmental and cli-mate challenges. At the same time, urban growth and transformation are opening up new opportunities for UiO, but only if it is involved from the beginning and has an active presence where it matters.

Strategy 2020 states that UiO shall be a lead-ing international university with a modern learning environment, outstanding research community and extensive communication with the outside world.

Our buildings must enable us to comply with laws, regulations, requirements and ambitions. The master plan for UiO’s properties, “Space for an outstanding, green university – and for Oslo, the city of knowl-edge”, is a response to this. It is our ambitious goal that the master plan makes a significant contribu-tion to ensuring that UiO’s properties are developed in such a way that they support UiO’s strategy and ambitions to a far greater extent.

Current situationUiO will strengthen its international position as a leading research university through close interaction between research, education, communication and innovation, as stipulated in Strategy 2020. In order to achieve this goal, UiO must develop and modernize its large building stock extensively in the coming years. Our vision is to create space for an outstanding, green university – and for Oslo, the city of knowledge.

UiO is one of the oldest institutions in Oslo. When UiO was established in Kristiania in 1811, it was named the Royal Frederik University, eventually becoming the University of Oslo in 1939. Until 1948, this was Norway’s only university. Today, UiO is the 19th best university in Europe and number 69 among the approximately 10 000 universities in the Shanghai Rankings. UiO is a dynamic workplace for well over 7 000 academic and adminis-trative staff, and an attractive place of study for 27 000 students. It is an institution that is constantly evolving. UiO has had a presence in Oslo city centre as a highly visible and central social contributor since the buildings


on Karl Johans gate were completed in 1852. In 1921, the Storting select-ed Blindern as a future expansion area for UiO, and UiO:Blindern is now the largest campus and place of study for around 65% of the stu-dents. The site is now a complete facility, with a clear identity and well-maintained park areas.

UiO has a building stock consisting of 472 000 sq.m. of owned properties and 110 000 sq.m. of leased properties. The Ministry of Education and Research is the title holder and UiO manages land totalling 4 859 hectares and leases 740 hectares at an annual cost in 2015 of NOK 16 million. UiO also manages 4 460 hect-ares of land in connection with the Collection of Nor-wegian Antiquities.

In 2013, UiO conducted a thorough survey of the technical condition, suitability and adaptability of the building stock. On a scale of 0 to 3, the average con-dition rating is 1.43, where 0 is the best. The survey shows that only 17% of UiO’s total area has a good

technical standard, i.e. a condition rating of at least 1.0. About 70% of the facades and some interiors are protected under the Cultural Heritage Act.

A total of 41% of the building stock, or 148 000 sq.m., is considered to be unsuitable for the activities current-ly conducted in the premises. Twenty-six per cent, or 94 000 sq.m. of the area is unsuitable and has limited adaptability. The required technical work is estimated at NOK 2.8 billion, while NOK 5.8 billion of functional adaptations are needed to meet present and future user needs. Overall, the required technical maintenance and functional upgrades total NOK 8.6 billion.

Today, maintenance and modernization of UiO’s properties are financed through allocations from the

University Board to the Estate Department. A block grant of NOK 180 million is earmarked annually for major maintenance work and investments. These funds are managed by the Estate Director in order to maintain the condition of the buildings and to meet users’ needs for minor changes in the short term. We have assumed that maintenance on average is in the region of NOK 250 per sq.m. including VAT. This means that the annual maintenance cost amounts to NOK 118 million. The remaining NOK 62 million is allocated to projects under NOK 20 million related to reported user needs. The University Board also allocates funds to larger initiatives, such as the total renovation of entire properties. The Estate Department submits proposals for projects with the users, and these projects have an estimated cost of NOK 20 million or more.

Increased space requirements and new buildings can be financed in three different ways: the national budget, Statsbygg’s leasing scheme, or leasing in the private market.

Figure 1 shows the funding requirements for one possible scenario where technical upgrades are com-pleted within ten years. The functional upgrade will start with the renovation of Tøyen and Brøggers hus, then Lower Blindern from 2023, when the Life Science Centre will be ready. The red line shows the ceiling of NOK 180 million, which as per 2015 has been allo-

cated for major investments and maintenance of the building stock. The figure clearly shows the huge gap between current funding and the need for funds in the period up to 2040.

With today’s budget, these financing models are in no way sufficient to meet the need for technical and functional upgrading of UiO’s property portfolio and increased space requirements. In this document, we will therefore consider several models for obtaining the necessary financing.

Our vision is to create space for an out-standing, green university – and for Oslo – the city of knowledgeThe students of today and tomorrow are “digital natives”. The demands they put on their physical environment create challenges for the learning envi-ronment. Research-based teaching in many subjects requires access to suitable laboratories and other spe-cial facilities. A good learning environment will con-tribute to inspiration and knowledge transfer through interaction between students and researchers. The premises must facilitate students’ needs.

The requirements for laboratories and equipment in modern research work are very different from a few decades ago. Today’s equipment is advanced, the work requires clean rooms and good ventilation, while

research materials can be very sensitive to tempera-ture. This places high demands on the premises. Every two years, UiO applies to establish Centres of Excel-lence and Centres for Research-based Innovation, which usually requires separate premises. We will con-sider establishing a separate building with good flexi-bility, which we can quickly adapt for new centres. An interdisciplinary approach is a cornerstone of research of the future, and co-location of research communities is an effective tool for good interdisciplinary work.

The public expects “edutainment” (education and entertainment) when visiting a museum nowadays. Modern exhibitions need to offer greater interactiv-ity and active use of various media, and the longevity of exhibitions is decreasing. This means that museum premises must be flexible so that they can easily and inexpensively be adapted for new exhibits and accept traveling exhibitions.

UiO will continue to develop and concentrate its activities around the three campuses UiO:Downtown, UiO:Blindern and UiO:Tøyen. We will continue to strive to make the campuses open and active environ-ments that contribute to well-being, safety, cooperation and interdisciplinary contacts. The buildings around Frederikkeplassen house most of the services offered at UiO:Blindern. The total offering is, nevertheless, inadequate in relation to the number of students and employees. UiO will work with SiO and other partners to increase the services offered on campus. In coopera-tion with SiO and any other relevant partners, we will gradually introduce student and researcher housing to the campus in order to create more life and activity over a greater part of the day. Interdisciplinary coop-eration can be strengthened by providing a platform for students from different disciplines to meet informally. Opening up all of the ground floor levels to enable great-er use of the auditoriums and study group rooms by the different faculties will stimulate movement of the student population. Shared use will also increase the hours of use, thereby improving space efficiency. Both research and innovation are often undertaken within an interdisciplinary interface and in cooperation with various partners from industry or other institutions. Contact between students and the business sector is essential for preparing students for the encounter with the labour market that awaits them after finishing their studies. Campuses must be able to accommodate such cooperation between UiO and industry. In order for

employees and students to be able to perform at their best, they need the buildings to be well-adapted for the relevant activity, and they must flourish on campus.

This plan has accounted for the fact that UiO has not received political signals indicating growth in the student population in the short term (2015–2020). UiO does not therefore have a need to expand in terms of space in the short term. If we assume that the propor-tion of the population in Greater Oslo who study at UiO will remain constant over time, we may face a 50% increase in the student population by 2040. In 2015, we are seeing a shift towards education in health and the natural sciences. These are programmes of study that require expensive facilities, such as laboratories. We are also seeing a general increase in research activity.

In order for a building to function as intended, it must be in good condition. A long-term target is an average condition rating of 1.2 for UiO’s building stock, but all buildings must be safe to use, and meet HSE requirements. No building should have a condi-tion rating of more than 2.0 in the long term.

UiO takes the environment seriously. Buildings account for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of the world’s energy consumption. Efficient area use is therefore an important element of UiO’s work on the environment and sustainability. However, sus-tainable buildings are about so much more, including material use, energy use, waste management, trans-port and pollution. UiO will use BREEAM (Norway’s first and the world’s leading design and auditing tool for sustainable buildings) to document its environmen-tal efforts in relation to its properties. All new buildings must, as a minimum, achieve a BREEAM Excellent rat-ing, and existing buildings under renovation must also aim to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating.

Resources and financial frameworkUiO’s expertise, capacity and financial performance within property development and management must correlate to the needs and tasks that UiO faces. The scope of the institution’s own responsibility for mod-ernizing and developing the property portfolio needs to be clarified through both internal discussions and con-sultation with the Ministry of Education and Research. Tasking UiO with sole responsibility for over 100 years of dilapidating State-owned buildings is outside the scope of the institution’s financial framework. It is obvi-ously not an express policy that the research and edu-


cation budgets should cover dilapidating buildings, but in practice this will be the reality if the entire backlog is to be dealt with by the institution itself. The financ-ing arrangements for State construction projects have made it easier to erect new buildings than to refurbish the existing ones, especially for the institutions that manage their own properties, such as UiO. Over time this has resulted in a lack of maintenance and modern-ization of a large building stock. Only in exceptional cases has it been possible to finance renovation proj-ects from the State budget – at UiO it has only been possible in relation to the buildings in the city centre

and one building at Blindern (the ZEB building in 1999). Document 3:4 (2012–2013) “The Office of the Auditor General’s investigation into the State’s management of properties in the university and university college sec-tor” (Riksrevisjonens undersøkelse om statens forvaltning av eiendomsmassen i universitets- og høgskolesektoren) documents the unacceptable condition of the buildings at the institutions that manage their own properties in autumn 2013. UiO faces the greatest challenge of all.

Property development requires a long-term vision and planning horizon, which is not consistent with fluc-tuating and unpredictable annual allocations. In order to achieve the goal of modernizing and developing the UiO building stock in line with this plan, steady funding is needed every year to a far greater extent than today.

Key expertiseUiO’s key expertise in property development and management should be linked to meeting UiO’s unique needs for properties for research, education, communication and innovation. This also entails expertise on the environment and sustainability, uni-versal design and development of protected buildings for modern university purposes. UiO should not be the contractor, performing construction and main-tenance work, but must be highly qualified to plan, manage and control the supplier’s work, competence and professional qualifications. Despite being one of the largest property managers in the country, UiO is not well known in the market as a property manager

and developer. In order to be seen as a prominent and attractive employer in a fiercely competitive labour market, we need to have a much stronger profile in relation to property development, both in terms of environmental focus and UiO’s contribution to urban development at all three campuses.

FinancingThe Tøyen Fund was established around 1920 when the State sold a large number of the properties from the Tøyen estate. The aim was for the money to go towards financing the purchase of buildings and land for the university development at Blindern. As at May 2015, approximately NOK 130 million remains in the Tøyen Fund. UiO is considering liquidating the fund and asking the Ministry of Education and Research for approval to use the remaining funds to modernize UiO’s building stock.

The general rule for UiO’s management of the prop-erty portfolio is that UiO will only own buildings and properties that support UiO’s core activities, i.e. build-ings that support research, development and commu-nication, such as laboratories, animal stalls, the learn-ing environment and jobs for students, researchers and other staff. UiO will have specialist expertise in developing, managing, maintaining and operating such buildings for the core activities, and will use its financial resources to do so. UiO will not tie up capital by owning other types of buildings or properties that divert the focus and resources away from the core

activities. For example, UiO has around NOK 120 mil-lion tied up in the housing market, with 42 research-er dwellings. In order to be a leading international university, it is strategically important that UiO can provide housing for international visiting research-ers, but there is no extra value to be gained from the dwellings being owned and operated by UiO. In other words, this housing does not need to be linked to uni-versity buildings such as laboratories, learning cen-tres or museum buildings. Buildings that are not used to support UiO’s core activities will as a general rule be leased. Additionally, UiO will also be able to lease properties for its core activities in cases where we are unable to buy such premises. In such cases, UiO will always secure an option to purchase the property after a certain number of years or if it is to be sold.

With regard to land that houses buildings to sup-port the core activities, the general rule must be that UiO will own this. UiO will work for this principle to be applied whenever new university buildings are erected. It is critical for UiO to have control of land costs and changes to these. High ground rents are directly deducted from funds that could otherwise be used for research and education.

When Ole-Johan Dahls hus was built, UiO did not have the NOK 87 million needed to buy the land from Statsbygg; this land is therefore leased. The agree-ment with Statsbygg includes an option to buy the land by 31 December 2019 at the original 2013 value with index adjustment. Otherwise, the ground rent


will be adjusted from the current NOK 1.7 million to a market price of approximately NOK 5 million per year from 1 January 2020. UiO should buy the land during the option period in order to avoid a sharp increase in ground rent. The purchase can be financed through the Tøyen Fund. We estimate ground rent for the new life science land to be about NOK 15 million per year from 2022. UiO will therefore work to ensure that this land is under UiO’s ownership before the opening of the new life science building. The land costs must therefore be factored into the project.

Most businesses use the value in their property port-folio to fund necessary modernization and development. We assume that UiO may consider selling properties in order to finance the modernization and development of other properties. Buildings that are poorly suited to UiO’s purposes, are not very adaptable, and are not cen-trally located in one of the campus areas, may be sold to finance the maintenance and development of the remaining properties. The rules on disposal of State property entail some restrictions on UiO’s ability to sell properties. Clarification needs to be obtained from the Ministry of Education and Research and the Ministry of Finance as to whether we can still sell properties at market price when other State institutions are inter-ested in the property and the purpose of the sale is to raise funds to modernize buildings. By selling proper-ty that does not support UiO’s core activities, and using the proceeds to upgrade the rest of the buildings, UiO will ensure active and forward-looking property devel-opment and management. UiO is a decentralized prop-erty manager in the State landscape. Providing UiO with incentives to modernize the building stock, partly from the proceeds from the sale of its own properties, will aid optimal property management for the State. Otherwise, UiO will be left with old and dilapidated properties that are neither modernized nor used for anything else.

Ever since Rikshospitalet (“the National Hospital”) was founded in 1826, it has been closely affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at UiO. The two institutions are still interdependent and have a close academic col-laboration. Rikshospitalet (now Oslo University Hos-pital, Rikshospitalet) eventually moved to new prem-ises at Gaustad, which were built to house research and teaching. A total of 27 000 sq.m. was funded by the Ministry of Education and Research in order to meet UiO’s requirements for space at Oslo University Hospital (OUH). No agreement was in place for UiO’s

use of area when OUH moved to Gaustad in 2000, but when changes were made to the organizational status of the hospitals a few years later this triggered a need to define who should own what. It has proven to be a very challenging task, and in 2015 there is still consid-erable disagreement between the parties about which areas, rights and obligations the parties should have.

Space is a key cost driver in property management. The costs for operation, maintenance and develop-ment are closely linked to the size of an area. Area use is also an important element of sustainable operations. The total operating and maintenance cost for property in UiO in 2015 was NOK 809 million. An increased area efficiency of 10% would mean an annual saving of NOK 81 million. Greater area efficiency frees up funds that can either be used to modernize the UiO buildings or for the core activities. As per May 2015, there is no norm for office space at UiO, but one is currently being devised.

The normal arrangement in a lease is that the user covers the costs of operation and maintenance of the property. UiO introduced internal rents in 2000 by order of the Ministry of Education and Research. Today’s internal lease arrangement at UiO only cov-ers operating costs and services relating to the areas, while maintenance costs are not included. Mainte-nance and development costs for the buildings are allo-cated by the Board as a separate item that is managed by the Estate Department. The present internal lease arrangement is complicated, and not exactly condu-cive to area efficiency. The Ministry of Education and Research is in the process of evaluating the internal lease arrangement for the entire sector. The evalua-tion will examine the internal lease arrangements at State universities and university colleges that manage their own properties, and assess the effects thereof. In particular, it will consider whether it is appropriate for the internal rent to also include a capital element, and if applicable will devise a model for internal rents that cover costs, which can be implemented at all uni-versities and science colleges that manage their own properties. Following this, UiO will revise its internal lease arrangement in order to better meet UiO’s need to increase the incentive for more efficient area use at the units and to incorporate any guidelines from the Ministry of Education and Research. Amending the internal rent agreement, however, will not solve the funding requirements unless additional financial resources are forthcoming from the Ministry.


FIG. 6: The buildings need technical and functional modernization. The figure illustrates the result for the different buildings when combined. The dark red buildings need total renovation, the light red buildings need modernization, the orange buildings were recently renovated and the yellow buildings only need general maintenance. The figure shows the need for modernization at UiO:Blindern.

Prioritized projects financed from the State budgetNew buildings for research, education and communication are far beyond the scope of what UiO is intended to fund itself, and the university is dependent on allocations from the State. Four new buildings are in vari-ous stages of planning. The expectation is that these will be financed from the State budget and completed during the planned period. UiO management has prioritized these in the following order: new Life Science Centre, new Viking Age Museum, new clinic building for dentistry and new exhibition greenhouse and climate centre.

Prioritized projects and measures to be carried out by UiO 2015–2020Assessment and plan-ning 2015–2020The first five years of the planning period will be spent assessing and pre-paring the individual decisions to be submitted to management and the Board, and which form the basis for the development and financing of parts of the modernization. We will provide detailed plans and guidelines for area efficiency, and specify measures to open up the campus-es and develop services.

The assessment and development plan for Lower Blindern will commence around midway through the period, when the start-up allocation for the Life Sci-ence Centre has been received. UiO will thus have both the capacity and the plans to start the modernization of Lower Blindern when the buildings are vacated at the start of the next planned period.

The assessment and the development plan for the museums will begin when UiO has both the capac-

ity and financing to start further modernization after Waldemar C. Brøggers hus is completed. One of UiO’s central objectives is the dissemination of knowledge to the public, and the museums are perhaps the most important channel for reaching the general public. It is therefore important that a holistic approach is taken to the modernization plans for these buildings, ensuring that a variety of offerings is available to the public at the university museums at any given time. We therefore need to establish a coordinated plan for the implementation of these projects. Several of the measures at Tøyen will require rezoning, and this work will be started during the first period.

Towards the end of the period, this master plan will be revised as part of a 5-year rolling plan. Part of this work will entail updating the condition survey of UiO’s buildings to enable us to evaluate the develop-ment over time.

Financing 2015–2020We will assess which properties UiO can sell in order to obtain financing, and present our recommenda-tion to the Board for a decision. Properties will be sold based on the Board’s decision.

Projects 2015–2020The modernization of Brøggers hus is the largest of the UiO’s own projects in the first period.

A number of large projects will be carried out. At UiO:Blindern, the focus in the first period is on com-pleting the modernization of Upper Blindern, i.e. Sophus Bugges hus and the three high-rise blocks. All of these four modernization projects are being carried out by the Estate Department at UiO.

The museum depository at Økern will be completed. On behalf of the Ministry of Education and Research, Statsbygg previously concluded that the best place to build a depository for the Natural History Museum is at Tøyen. The need for a depository was mentioned in several State budgets, but was removed from the 2012 budget. The project does not seem to be a priority for the Ministry of Education and Research. UiO assumes that no funds will be allocated to the construction of a new depository at Tøyen, and will adapt the deposi-tory at Økern to meet this need instead.

A new building is under construction at Tullinløkka for co-location of the Faculty of Law. Completion of

Own projects 2015–2020 in order of priority:

1. Renovation of Brøggers hus

2. Completion of the museum depository at Økern

3. Renovation of Sophus Bugges hus

4. Learning centre at Georg Sverdrups hus

5. Renovation of the remaining floors in the high-rise blocks at Upper Blindern (Niels Treschows hus, Niels Henrik Abels hus and Eilert Sundts hus (B block))

Buildings financed from State budget in order of priority:

1. New research and teaching facilities for Life Science

2. New Viking Age Museum for the Museum of Cultural History

PlanningAssessment


the building is planned for the end of the initial period in 2017. UiO will rent the premises from Entra Eien-dom, which is also the construction client and owner.

The projects being carried out and financed by UiO are estimated to cost in excess of NOK 1 billion. In all of the periods, maintenance aimed at safeguard-ing the condition rating of the remainder of the build-ing stock and smaller projects for meeting user needs will be performed every year. These will be financed through the allocation for major maintenance work and investments of NOK 180 million per year.

Construction of the life science building is sched-uled to start around 2019, and will be finished in 2022 at the earliest. The exhibition greenhouse and climate centre, the Viking Age Museum and the clinic building for dentistry can all be started during the first period and completed early in the second period, depending on when the start-up allocation from the Storting is received. Statsbygg will be responsible for all of these construction projects.

Prioritized projects and measures in 2020–2027Financing 2020–2027The projects in this period are very costly, and fund-ing needs to be clarified with the Ministry of Educa-tion and Research. We will also make an assessment of which properties UiO can sell in order to obtain financing, and present this to the Board for a decision. Properties will be sold based on the Board’s decision. UiO will seek external support for renovations where possible, through various forms of collaboration with industry and others.

Projects 2020–2027The second planning peri-od will be marked by the development of Lower Blindern. At the begin-ning of the period, plans will be detailed and final-ized, rezoning will be sought, collaboration with the authorities and part-ners must be implement-ed and, not least, financing must be secured. Towards the middle of the period, the modernization projects will start. The work will have to take place in stages in

order to ensure there is enough space to safeguard the core activities at all times.

In the second period, central museum buildings will also be modernized. The Historical Museum at UiO:Downtown is the museum building that will be in the worst condition when the planned museum proj-ects in the first period are completed. For structural rea-sons, we will give this first priority ahead of the other large museum buildings. The National Gallery will no longer be in use from around 2020. This could be used as temporary premises for the Historical Museum dur-ing renovation work. In the longer term, the National Gallery building can be used as an overflow area for the Historical Museum. We will also continue our efforts to modernize the other buildings at Tøyen.

The life science building, exhibition greenhouse and eco centre, the Viking Age Museum and new clin-ic building for dentistry are all scheduled for comple-tion in the second period.

This master plan will be revised in a rolling five-year cycle. In addition to updating the condition anal-ysis for UiO’s buildings, the work will include devel-opment plans for the third period.

Prioritized projects and measures 2027–2040Financing 2027–2040The projects in this period are very costly, and financ-ing needs to be clarified with the Ministry of Educa-tion and Research. We will also make an assessment of which properties UiO can sell to obtain financing, and present this to the Board for a decision. Properties will be sold based on the Board’s decision. UiO will seek external support for renovation where possible, through various forms of collaboration with industry and others.

Projects 2027–2040The modernization of Low-er Blindern will be con-cluded during this period. Colletts hus and Lids hus will be modernized. Under-ground development at Tullinløkka is not consid-ered to be realistic in the time period up to 2040. The property at Frederiks gate 3 has development poten-tial, and can also help to meet space requirements at UiO:Downtown in the longer term.

Projects 2020–2027 in order of priority:

1. Renovation of The Historical Museum

2. Modernization of Lower Blindern

3. Modernization of buildings at Tøyen (spread over the first, second and third periods)

Projects 2027–2040 in order of priority:

Major building works in previous master plan period 2007–2015The last master plan was adopted in 2007. Considerable improvements have been made in the intervening eight years.

Major evaluations by the State with participation from UiOA concept choice evaluation (CCE) is performed for all large public building projects at an early stage. The purpose is to assess land options and the scope needed for the upcoming building project. Following the CCE, external quality assurance is undertaken, after which the government chooses a concept that can form the basis for the upcoming building project. This is a time-consuming process, which also involves the user. In recent years, UiO has participated in the following CCE processes:

Research and teaching facilities for life science, chemistry and pharmacy. This evaluation was performed in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Research, and started in 2007. The subsequent quality assu-rance report was delivered in June 2012. Following the government’s review of the case, Statsbygg was com-missioned in February 2013 to start work on outlining a project for new life science facilities. This project will be ready in 2015, and has a gross area of 71 700 sq.m. and an estimated cost at this stage of NOK 3.9 billion.

Cultural History Museum. Over many years, efforts were made to gather the different units of the Cultural History Museum under one roof at Sørenga, including relocation of the Viking ships. UiO has participated in the CCE work in order to clarify this project in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Research, and Statsbygg was com-missioned to zone land and prepare for realization. However, after an international panel of experts submitted a report on the risks of relocating the Viking treasures from Bygdøy, the Ministry accepted the recommendations, and in June 2013 the government decided that the Cultural History Museum should continue to be housed at diffe-rent locations: Tullinløkka, Bygdøy and Økern. An overarching programme for housing the museum has been devi-sed, and the development at Bygdøy has received the green light for the first stage. Preparations for an international architectural competition are ongoing, and the competition is expected to be announced in the summer of 2015.

New clinic building for the Faculty of Dentistry. UiO has devised a functional programme for housing the acti-vities at the Faculty of Dentistry that remain at Geitmyrsveien, and has participated in the CCE work under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Research. Quality assurance of the programme has been extensive, but it is now ready, and is currently being reviewed by the Ministry.

Natural History Museum. In 2008, the Ministry of Education and Research commissioned an overarching pro-gramme for modernizing the entire Natural History Museum’s facility at Tøyen. The report was delivered in the spring of 2009, but was not followed up by the Ministry beyond some initial clarifications up to 2011.

Zoning plan for Gaustadbekkdalen. The plan relates to the northern part of Gaustadbekkdalen and was drawn up by Statsbygg. The Estate Department participated in the process up to approval in June 2011.
