THE WORLD'S TALLEST STUDENT HOUSING MADE OF SOLID WOOD
SiØ is actively creating the best possible overall learning environment at Østfold University College (HiØ). One part of this work is providing great and reasonably priced housing opportunities in Fredrikstad and Halden. Today this includes several CLT apartment buildings, of which the first ones were built already in 2013.
The latest new apartment house was completed in June 2021 and is located in Remmen near Østfold University College, Campus Halden. The 16-storey CLT building was designed by Stenseth Grimsrud Arkitekter and the project was realised by AF Gruppen as a turnkey project.
