About the property
Kunnskapsverksted, which was previously a workshop for the Union paper factory, was totally rehabilitated in 2008 and transformed into an ultra-modern office building. Generous headroom and large workshop windows provide ample lighting. Industrial equipment converted for new purposes, and overhead cranes in the office and common areas create an authentic workshop atmosphere. The offices are open plan, and there are several types of meeting rooms. Unbroken lines-of-sight in the common areas are conducive to communication and informal meeting places. The building is suitable for workshops, meetings and courses.
Trude’s Kantine serves daily lunches, and provides catering for meetings and larger functions (150 people). Electric bikes may be hired here, and cycle parking is available.
