Campus Unification Unit
We’re creating the campus of the future!
NTNU Unified Campus will bring academic communities together on and around Gløshaugen and is the largest development project in the university’s history. Creating an open and unified campus that supports collaboration, learning, and a vibrant student life. It includes construction of five new buildings and upgrading of NTNU’s Main Building. Outdoor areas will also be improved, making the entire campus more welcoming and accessible for students, staff, and visitors.

Quality principles
Campus development is not just about buildings - it’s about creating a holistic infrastructure that supports NTNU’s social mission. The quality programme defines the essential characteristics our campus must have to achieve this, based on six quality principles: unifying, urban, efficient, a network of hubs, sustainable, and a living laboratory. These principles ensure that the campus is developed in a way that promotes collaboration, innovation, and sustainability.
For the Unit for campus development, these principles are the foundation of everything we do. They shape our work and influence all activities.
