During the autumn, the Property Department will move the warehouse with second-hand furniture from Damsgård. The new warehouse will be smaller than the current one, and therefore the aim is to reduce the amount of furniture that is taken away. To avoid having to throw away fully usable furniture, UiB employees are encouraged to take a look at the furniture database Loopfront and take the opportunity to order furniture for use in UiB buildings before the furniture warehouse is moved. If you are not already registered in Loopfront, you can easily create a user via this link https://loopfront.app/no.
