UiO takes these incidents very seriously. After a security assessment and in consultation with the faculties, we have now restricted access to the buildings at Nedre Blindern and UiO's areas in 澳门皇冠体育,皇冠足球比分sparken. This means that students and employees must use their access card and PIN code to enter. The changes took effect on Tuesday, 10th March at 08:00. The duration and which buildings are affected will be assessed continuously in collaboration with the faculties.?

The following buildings have restricted access:

  • Farmasibygningen
  • Fysikkbygningen
  • Helga Engs hus

UiO has a good and effective alarm system that quickly detects smoke, providing a short notification and response time. The Security Operation Centre is staffed 24/7, and there are additional security guards on duty.

We kindly remind everyone to follow the fire safety instructions. When the fire alarm sounds, everyone must exit the buildings. Escape routes must also remain clear at all times.
