A new piece of art is currently being installed in the atrium and lobby of the HF building. The atrium will get new plantings. KORO (Public Art Norway), which also funds the artwork, has given the commission to Toril Johannessen. As her starting point Johannessen took the concept of time, which may be thought of, categorized and measured in many different ways. About Toril Johannessen, see www.toriljohannessen.no
