IVB - Geomatics
Laboratory for Geomatics
Geomatics labs are for surveying, geographical information systems (GIS) and building information modeling (BIM).
We learn about and test different types of surveying equipment and software. We process the collected data on personal computers and on NTNU’s desktop computers, they visualize in both 2D and 3D (VR).
Access and opening hours
Geomatics labs are available for geomatics students and other fields of study that have subjects related to geomatics. Lab and equipment are available 24 hours a day except during the Christmas holidays and summer holidays.
