The site visit to Roa will take place on April 28th at 13:00. Participants will meet in front of the Town Hall, and the visit will include a site tour with representatives from Lunner Municipality, lasting approximately 1.5 hours.

Roa Stasjon can be reached by the RE30 and RE31 train from Oslo Central Station (a little over an hour). The Town Hall is about a 20-minute walk from the train station.

Participation is not mandatory.

We have uploaded a folder titled Frøystad Building Documentation in 0-New_Docs_after_Launch. It contains a range of drawings of the existing buildings. Unfortunately, we don’t have any additional interior or exterior images available to share.

A DWG file and a 3dm file called roa_big_3d_model have been uploaded to the 0-New_Docs_after_Launch folder. The files containts a 3d model with a larger view of the area.

We have uploaded a map to 0-New_Docs_after_Launch folder called roa_municipal_owned_land which shows land owned by the municpality. 

A DWG file called roa_big_2d_map with a bigger view has been uploaded to the 0-New_Docs_after_Launch folder. 

Unfortunately, we’re not able to produce such an extensive map view with the software currently available to us.

We have uploaded a folder called images_of_buildings which can be found in the 0-New_Docs_after_Launch folder on the Europan server.

We have  received the following the descriptions from a Lunner municpality representative describing the buildings.

Description of use of buildings in Frøystad
Adapted housing: Housing for people with extended need of assistance 24 hours a day. Relatively new(built around 2015.)
Storage and garage: The long, slender building alongside the adapted housing is in two parts. One “part” holds car ports, and the other holds storage for the adapted housing. 
Youth club: Holds areas for “hanging out”, with a simple kitchen, pool table, table tennis, one gaming room for Playstation, and a larger dedicated gaming room with at least 8 gaming PCs. 
Equipment loan central: Called “BUA,” it provides the possibility of borrowing equipment for a wide variety of sports and leisure activities, like skis, bicycles, camping equipment, canoes etc. Open on Thursdays, and you can borrow for a week at a time. Situated on the ground floor/basement.
Adult education: Approximately 260 students from several countries attends language and other social studies as part of their refugee introduction programs. The classrooms are in the old schoolbuilding (the stretched out, two story building, newly renovated). Administration is in the new part, the “library-building”
Library: Relatively new building. It is labeled “temporary” library, and is regarded as somewhat small for all the desired activities it could and should hold. It has limited open space, although movable book racks allows arrangers to create some space. In such a configuration it can hold 30-50 people in attendance. 
The library is a “more-open library”, meaning it is accessible to adults holding a valid library card also outside of manned opening hours. Loans and returns is self service. 
Swimming hall: Swimming education during daytime for pupils of elementary and secondary school. Used by various groups for health and training programs, and open to public in the afternoon Thursdays and Fridays.  ¨
Gym hall: In steady use for low level activities like exercise and dancing for seniors. Sometimes used for larger town hall meetings. 
Club house of Lunner Football club: Built around 2018, this modern facility holds locker rooms, a cafeteria/kiosk and equipment rooms on the ground floor, and open, flexible rooms available for rent on the first floor. Suitable for a wide range of social gatherings. Also has an attractive roof terrace adjacent to these rooms.  The club very much wants to be involved in the further development of Frøystad, to increase activity and have a more important role. 
Care appartements: Not inside the project area, but this is an important part of the “town centre”. Residence for elderly and disabled in need of some assistance. Not manned, but possible hub for the home care services.  Has relatively large areas suitable for cafeterias and social gatherings. 
Bergo senior center: Situated to the south of Frøystad, this project has living units for elderly people, and a central house for social gatherings, meetings and hospitality. 

Yes, a different solution can be proposed.

The sidewalk proposal can be challenged. 

As this is an idea competition you can propose where you want. But municipally owned land is most likely. A map that showcases municipally owned land can be found  in the Europan server in the 0-New_Docs_after_Launch called roa_municipal_owned_land.png.

Yes, the old school can be demolished.
