In Trondheim/NO, a dormitory is currently being built, which consists of five ten-storey wooden buildings. Construction began in June last year. By the spring, the project is scheduled to be completed.

The project requires a considerable logistical effort to be made: All in all, 6.500m³ of CLT will be supplied from the Austrian Stora Enso plant in Ybbs to Trondheim. This represents 75 truckloads and 50 railway car capacities needed. On the site, the project is being handled by Woodcon Norway.
