The projects social mission

"NTNU is an attractive educational and research institution that fulfills its social mission at a highly recognized international level. NTNU has a robust and flexible physical infrastructure that strengthens interdisciplinarity and provides good conditions for extracting synergies."

A unified campus will give NTNU the opportunity to:

• Bring together our humanities and social sciences with the technology subjects, central and visible on the Gløshaugen plateau. 
• Strengthen the student´s education, and facilitate interdisciplinarity from the start of the course of study, by developing a varied and concentrated learning area in the central axis of the Gløshaugen plateau. 
• Create a powerhouse for our performing, creative subjects; art, architecture, music and design – where the university and the city meet, between Studentersamfundet and Hovedbygningen. 
• Further develop a cluster for innovation in the axis between the technology and HumSam communities on the Gløshaug plateau and our economic and management expertise down along Elgeseter gate.  
• Strengthen the main building (Hovedbygningen) and the surrounding area as the heart of our campus in Trondheim – both symbolically and in practice – through architectural measures and prioritization of which university functions should be prioritized in this area. 
• Strengthen already established academic clusters in science, engineering and computer science and electrical engineering by bringing together the academic communities that move as a result of the unified campus.
