Schous plass (Schou Square) is a square in the southern part of the borough of Grünerløkka in Oslo, Norway.
The area belonged to Aker municipality until 1858, when it was incorporated into Christiania (Oslo). [1] It was laid out in 1873, and got its name in 1874. Its namesake was brewery owner Christian Schou, who died in the same year. [2] Not far away, at the property Schousløkken in the street Trondheimsveien, he had established production facilities of his company, the Schou Brewery, between 1872 and 1874. [3] [4] A park was established at the square between 1915 and 1916, and renovated in 1986. [2]
The square is surrounded by four streets and buildings. The local library, administratively a satellite of the Deichman Library, was raised here between 1912 and 1914. A building for the Norwegian School of Marketing ( Norwegian: Norges Markedshøyskole) was erected between 1989 and 1990. [2] This institution was incorporated into the Norwegian School of Management in 1992, an institution which had its headquarters in Sandvika at the time, and only a satellite at Schous plass. The Norwegian School of Management concentrated its Oslo and Sandvika institutions into one school at Nydalen in 2005. [5] Among the most notable residents of the buildings at Schous plass are a young adult Edvard Munch, who lived at the address Schous plass 1 from 1885 to 1889. [2]
Schous plass is a tram stop on the Grünerløkka–Torshov Line of the Oslo Tramway. It is served by lines 11, 12 and 18. [6] The stop is served by high-floor SL79 trams and the low-floor SL95 and SL18 trams. The square is not directly served by bus, but is served by a night bus service.
