Construction of Morrow's building will begin on 1 November at Campus Grimstad. This means that the parking garage under the construction site between Teknologiparken and I4Helse will be closed. In addition, there will be several changes in the parking layout on campus.

Activities on campus will resume as normal in the spring semester. The autumn semester will continue as planned, even though the risk level has changed from yellow to green and all coronavirus restrictions have been lifted.

The University of Agder will offer a new bachelor’s degree in academic esports from autumn 2022. The initiators behind the degree believe the programme will be very popular, and the one-year programme now underway provides a good basis.

The cleaning staff at the University of Agder do an invaluable job of keeping campus clean and free of infection.

The government allows us to return to normal life from Saturday at 16:00. No local rules will be implemented but the return will be gradual.
