Hovedbygningen, Heritage university building in Gløshaugen, Norway

The main building of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology features granite panels with technical symbols representing engineering and architectural disciplines at its entrance.

Constructed between 1906 and 1910, Hovedbygningen became the first structure of the Norwegian Institute of Technology, with its southern wing completed in 1915.

The building incorporates medieval architectural elements inspired by Nidaros Cathedral, reflected in both its exterior design and interior vaulted halls.

The structure contains auditoriums, meeting rooms, a technology library, and administrative offices accessible through the Gløshaugen campus, 2 kilometers from central Trondheim.

Iron work details and mural paintings by Enevold Thømt decorate the interior spaces, while grotesques and ornamental elements connect to Norwegian folk art traditions.
