Norwegian term or phrase: magasinbygg
There are plans to build a new greenhouse and "magasinbygg" at Tøyen. Sentence: "Tøyen‐området bør utvikles til å bli et formidlingssenter for UiO innen naturfag og teknologi.
I første rekke med bygging av utstillingsveksthus og nytt magasinbygg med plass for utstillinger, men også gjennom utvikling av naturfagssenter og vitensenter."

At first I thought it could be some kind of storage building but since it entails space for exhibitions, I'm not so sure.... What other purposes do others associate with this term?

Exhibition Building/Hall


Explanation:
Visitors enter the Exhibition Building of the Essl Collection .....

The east-facing Exhibition Hall receives its daylight from the windows along one side and is visually linked to the corridor on the floor below that leads to the art storage rooms. The Rotunda connects the Exhibition Hall with the "Large Hall" on the floor above. The Exhibition Hall is equipped with permanent partition walls and is used for temporary exhibitions. Adjacent to it is the so-called Lecture Hall, where lectures, special events and music performances are held.

You may get a better idea if you take a look at the link.
