The Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU)
The historic buildings and grounds of the college have their place in the cultural history of Norway.
Campus Ås is home to one of the country's most beautiful park landscapes, surrounding a collection of historic buildings. Here, you might feel as if you've stepped straight into the world of Harry Potter, with charming old buildings, the oldest dating back to 1859. The park reflects the development of Norwegian garden art from the 1850s to the present day. Within this diverse park, you'll find numerous summer flowers, perennials, a rose garden, and a rhododendron garden. The university park also features impressive artwork, all of which is labeled alongside the plants. Fields, farmlands, and a unique collection of plants and trees surround the central campus, and on the west side of campus, there is a disc golf course.
The Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) is located here, along with research institutes such as NIBIO, Nofima, and the Veterinary Institute. The university offers studies and research that address major global issues, including environmental protection, sustainable development, food production, improved public and animal health, climate, and land and resource management.
The park can be visited free of charge without a guide. Guided tours of the park and buildings can be booked through Vitenparken pho. +47 64 80 86 00.
