P2: Materials Science
Materials Sciences (P2)

What the building contains
When NTNU and SINTEF Industry come together in the new building on the “Triangle Site” (Trekanttomta), they continue a long and strong tradition of close collaboration between research, education, and industry. The building will house around 213 NTNU employees, parts of SINTEF Industry, external partners, and over 300 students across five academic years.
Modern laboratories and advanced infrastructure will support excellent research and teaching at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (IMA) and among its partners. Together, they will form a powerhouse for materials technology—where the distance between theory and practice, ideas and application, is short.
The main entrance faces the Natural Sciences Building and will serve as a new, natural gateway to Gløshaugen from the south.

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.
