DRAMMEN For hundreds of years the banks of the Drammen River were characterised by river transport. Today the traditional industries have more or less disappeared, and many of the former factory sites are now being converted into residential areas Union Brygge and business parks. The area around Union has undergone the most extensive development work, including cultural arenas, small and innovative companies, a scince park, a new library and a built-up residential area. Between the Science Park (Papirbredden) and Drammen Park there is a pedestrian bridge called Ypsilon (built by Ruukki Construction). The former factory sites that lie a few hundred metres to the west of Strømsø town centre are also soon to be given a new lease of life. All of these will eventually blend together to form a combination of new and exciting architecture side by side with the venerable factory halls that have been adapted to meet modern demands for functionality by the enterprises involved. PAPIRBREDDEN Papirbredden, a unique environment of knowledge offering University College education, R&D activities, Library, knowledge-based companies and innovation partners.

Papirbredden comprises three different university colleges: Buskerud University College, BI Drammen - the Norwegian School of management and Telemark University College.
