Information about the land acquisition process at the faculty

We are now launching a newsletter that will provide regular updates on the land processes at the faculty. The goal is to ensure good information, overview, predictability and to make it easier for employees and students to follow ongoing and upcoming changes in buildings, relocation projects and construction work.
