The centre offers seven offices for rental as well as an open-plan office with room for ten users, all of which are equipped with broadband, wireless internet and other technical facilities. There are also workplaces for journalists visiting Norway from other countries. In addition to standard office equipment, a wide range of Norwegian and foreign daily newspapers and periodicals are provided. There is also a library with a good selection of reference books. Use of the press centre is free of charge for visiting journalists.
