NMBU

/Cirkus
ExCo | March 11
Cirkus
The ExCo meeting will be held at Cirkus, one of the most historic buildings on the NMBU campus, located in the heart of the campus. Cirkus is one of the three school buildings originally constructed in 1859. It was expanded and renovated in 1901 as part of the Higher Agricultural School in Ås. Cirkus forms an axial front facing the wing buildings in the courtyard. It is longer, has an additional floor, and thus becomes dominant in the courtyard, creating a simpler rounding towards the east. Simultaneously, the building’s facade faces west, serving as a pronounced element in the large-scale park area.
