Construction on new buildings and renovations has been ongoing in the Science Park for many years, and LINK Arkitektur won a competition for the task of creating a new café in the oldest building. The concept is based on the idea of creating an internal "green lung" as a natural meeting place for staff and visitors. Strong use of color, wallpaper, and furnishings are largely in contrast to the building in general. It is an attractive and pleasant place, in which it is comfortable both to sit and work or to take a well-deserved break. The furnishings are varied and invite socialization, while it also provides opportunities for those who prefer to sit alone. The café is also equipped with five meeting rooms that can be booked at any time, a combination that is innovative and can be seen as a concept for the future. Photo: Wenche Hoel-Knai
