Old army barracks in Nauthólsvík bay, dating back to the Second World War, are to be restored and will house a common room and bistro for students studying at the nearby University of Reykjavík, reports Morgunblaðið newspaper.
The barracks were constructed by the British Army during WWII, who invaded Iceland on the 10 May 1940 after failing to persuade neutral Iceland to join the Allies.
