In 2018, the university faced a serious challenge in the way it conducted its exams. With modern exams requiring access to digital technology, the current system of setting up temporary exam halls in sports halls and other locations had become unmanageable. Daily wiring and unwiring of power points and network access to allow evening schedules to continue to operate would have been impossible.

The solution was to create a permanent exam hall, designed to cater for the latest exam methods that use technology, as well as completely functional for traditional written exams. After finding and leasing a suitable location, NTNU worked with office furniture specialists Lindbak AS to source and install the required furniture. After consultation with the client, products from Flokk brands HÅG, Profim and Offecct were selected for both the exam hall and the adjoining reception area.

For the exam workstations, HÅG Conventio chairs were specified. The university currently uses the HÅG Conventio chair in several locations on campus, specified due to its great stability and comfort. The standout feature is its rocking mechanism, which is unique compared to similar chairs. It lets you move more freely whilst being seated, and helps to release energy, keeping your mind clearly focused without reduced stability.
