DEVELOPMENT OF OSlOFJORD CONVENTION CENTER

The architects Niels Torp won the architectural competition with their “Sun, wind and stars” proposal, and this shaped plans for a hotel city, a new and an environmentally friendly infrastructure, underground parking, and beautiful open park areas.

The project includes:

  • 16 new hotel buildings (1600 suites)     
  • Activity facilities and outdoor activity park, totaling 20 000 m2     
  • Extensive work with outdoor areas and the construction of new park facilities     
  • Underground parking with 1 500 parking places.
  • Upgrading of existing Conference Center     
  • Technical infrastructure and roads 
  • Total investment: 3.6 BNOK.

The activity center at Oslofjord Convention Center is available to the local population, local teams and associations. In connection with the ongoing development, the Brunstad Foundation has paid for and implemented a number of projects that are for public use, in accordance with the development agreement with the municipality. These include:

  • Construction of bathing area with beach, pier, freshwater showers, toilets and parks at Rossnessodden  
  • Construction of coastal trail along the whole of Olsåsen and up to Brunstadveien where it connects to the trail network at Trælsodden     
  • Construction of a hiking and cycle path from RV 303 towards the coastal trail    
  • Improved crossing at RV 303 and at Sjuestokveien     
  • Expanded Skjærsnesveien
  • Extensive excavation to replace many components in the municipal sewage system. Just over 4 kilometers of new main drainage pipeline has been laid in the ground, as well as a completely new pumping station that ensures that the waste water is transferred to Vårnes treatment plant. This is good news for the environment – and for swimmers in Melsomvik.
