CAS is located in the same building as The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA) in the villa in Drammensveien 78 in Oslo.

All the offices of CRG and CAT projects are situated on the lower ground floor, which includes a printer room, kitchenette, common area, and two small meeting rooms. The administrative staff and YCG projects' offices are located on the third floor, along with the Turret room, a printer room, and a kitchenette. Visiting scholars on the NordIAS Visiting Fellowship programme will be assigned offices based on availability on either the lower ground floor or the third floor.

During their stay in Oslo, all researchers will be provided with an office space, either a single office or a double office shared with another scholar participating in the same project. Each office space is equipped with a desk, chair, external monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

Fellows should indicate whether they are PC or Mac users under ‘My Stay’. Additionally, fellows should inform CAS of any special needs, such as ergonomic equipment.

Guest researchers with no assigned seating can for shorter periods use empty offices. These office spaces will be reserved for memebers of the project or programmed the offices are intended for, so the use of them must be approved by the PI or the administrative staff. For these office spaces, there is a clean desk policy.

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA/the Academy) and the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) are separate organisations. We have separate administrative staffs and separate objectives for our two organisations.

CAS is a tenant of the Academy, and our administrative staff and fellows do therefore not have access to the Academy's premises on the ground and second floors without an appointment.

Due to this, it is also incorrect to state that a project funded by CAS is linked to the Academy, or that the Academy is hosting the fellows staying at our Centre.
