history
In December 1989, the Lillehammer Olympic Organizing Committee (LOOC) drew up a budget plan, and in April 1990 the Norwegian Parliament passed a grant. In October, the LOOC and Gjøvik Municipality signed an agreement on ownership in equal parts. On January 24, 1991, the municipal council decided to build underground and the main planning was given to Fortifikasjon . A research group was set up to deal with ventilation, energy supply, geology and fire protection. The group also promoted Norwegian underground technology in order to promote it internationally. Drill samples were taken prior to construction and sent to SINTEF and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute for testing . The rock consists of 800 to 1,100 million years old gneiss, which was well suited for construction.
Construction work began on April 1st, 1991. The first tunnel was created 10 meters under the roof of the cave. Excavations were done exclusively for the first eight months. 140,000 cubic meters of rock were removed in 29,000 truck loads. 170 tons of dynamite were used during the blasting work.
The hall cost NOK 134.6 million, of which NOK 88.5 million was approved by the government. On May 6, 1993, the hall was opened with a show on national television, which was attended by 5,000 guests. The hall is now fully owned by the municipality.
