with the corridor-facing wall made of glass, the space was only and was shared by 9 students. The school was also aging; the physics and chemistry labs were at low standards, and there was no large assembly hall or bicycle storage area. Boys were not yet admitted as they were in many other public schools. Thus, under Hasselriis, Nørre Gymnasium lost its popularity and began to lose students. (The school finally turned co-ed at the end of the 1950s.) Ingeborg Hasselriis left the school in 1960 and was succeeded by Jørgen Andersen. Under his direction a student council was established in 1965, which called for a partial smoking permission and allowed students to stay in classrooms during breaks. In 1968 Nørre celebrated its 150th anniversary, and it was confirmed that a new school would be built in Mørkhøjvej. The new school in Mørkhøjvej The building for the new school opened officially on March 23, 1972, and classes in the new facility commenced on August 9 for the new school year. In 1991 the IB programme, the international educational curriculum, became available at the school. Nørre Gymnasium is only one of ten IB-accredited schools in Denmark.
