The residential building that caught fire on Monday morning is located close to the University of Innlandet (INN) facilities in downtown Hamar.
Heavy smoke emitted from the fire entered the university buildings, and the smell of smoke in the premises led to classes being canceled and staff being encouraged to work from home on Monday.
All scheduled activities at the campus will proceed as normal from Tuesday morning. Additional ventilation will be carried out ahead of Tuesday’s classes.
This tragic event affects us in different ways. If you need someone to talk to, we remind you of the Student Welfare Organization’s counseling service.
Hamar Cathedral will remain open through Monday afternoon, September 8. There will also be an opportunity to gather at Festiviteten Hamar from 14:00 hrs. and further during the afternoon.
