P2: Materials Science
Materials Science (P2)
In the new building for materials technology, researchers, partners and students will come together. Here NTNU and SINTEF Industry will explore, develop and test solutions and the materials of the future.
A centre of gravity for materials technology
Materials are part of everything around us. Each year, around 50 new MSc graduates complete their studies at Norway’s only master’s programme in Materials Technology. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering and its partners study how we can produce, use and reuse materials with lower emissions and better resource efficiency. With new laboratories and advanced infrastructure, the academic environment will gain improved conditions. This is where new methods, new materials and new knowledge will be developed — knowledge that benefits society as a whole.
Collaboration and development
The building will include a dedicated laboratory wing with facilities ranging from melting furnaces to electron microscopes. Activities that are currently spread across several buildings will be brought together, enabling more efficient collaboration and closer interaction between industry and research.
An open and welcoming ground floor will offer informal meeting spaces close to laboratories and teaching areas. The main entrance will face the Natural Science Building and form an entryway to Gløshaugen from the south.
The first piece in the relocation puzzle
In the sequence of relocations required to realise the campus unification, Materials Technology will be one of the first buildings to be completed. Large parts of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering will move from several locations and be brought together in the new building. This will make room for the new Humanities and Social Sciences building (sub-project P6).

Project board
Project board
The Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences chairs the project board for sub-project P2.
The board’s main responsibility is to ensure that NTNU’s organisational development sets the direction and framework for the development of the sub-project—so that project progress is aligned with the university’s broader goals.
The board’s mandate (in Norwegian) includes various roles in relation to both NTNU and the construction project.
Members of the project board:
- Chair: Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences – Øyvind Weiby Gregersen
- Member: Head of Department IMA – Ida Westermann
- Member: Representative of the Vice-Dean for Research – Magnus Rønning
- Member: Administrative Manager – Elin Cecilie Balstad
- Member: LOSAM representative for NV – Maria Wallin
