P0: Infrastructure and landscape
Infrastructure and Landscape (P0)
Life between the buildings creates a sense of belonging. When the campus has well-designed outdoor spaces, it becomes an inspiring place to be. Parks, walkways and meeting places create shared spaces for everyone.

New infrastructure is essential
Infrastructure and landscape work is necessary to bring NTNU together on and around Gløshaugen. For the unified campus to function in practice, existing and new buildings must be connected. Pipes and cables for water and wastewater, stormwater management, district heating, electricity and ICT must also be upgraded.
Outdoor spaces connect the campus and the city
An open and vibrant campus invites the wider community in. With parks, walkways and meeting places, the campus becomes an extension of Trondheim itself. Here, everyone can share the same urban spaces and feel the same sense of belonging. The foundation is laid for an urban landscape that ties the university and the city together.
