Overview picture of our buildings at Elvatunet 1 with HVL campus in the background.

Elvatunet 1

Live just a stone's throw away from campus in our most popular accommodations.

Elvatunet 1 consists of two phases:

Elvatunet 1 A-J comprises smaller residential buildings housing 50 units divided among 10 two-story houses. These are among our smaller shared accommodations, with 2-3 units on each floor. They are some of our newer residences completed in 2012.

Due to the limited number of units per shared space, it fosters a quiet environment, yet these residences are adjacent to Møllevegen and Elvatunet, vibrant hubs of student life.

Elvatunet 1 12 B&C is located just uphill and comprises 20 units distributed across 2 two-story houses with 5 units per shared space. These were completed in 2014.
