About Inspiria Science Center

Inspiria Science Center (formerly Science Center Østfold) is a hands-on popular science centre at Grålum in Sarpsborg, in Østfold, not in Oslo itself. It grew out of the engineering programme at Østfold University College and opened on 1 August 2011 in its own 6,400 m² building beside the E6 as Norway's eighth regional science centre. The building was designed with a focus on energy and the environment, was among Norway's most energy-efficient buildings when built, and won the German Prime Property Award in 2012; it has a wind turbine and a solar-panel wall that generate some electricity.
