C.F. Møller has designed the 14 metre tall, 19,000 square metre building, where high-tech laboratory research will go hand in hand with knowledge-sharing and collegiality.
Roof and facade exploit daylight
The faculty will have a prominent facade, the materials of which will vary, depending on their orientation in relation to the points of the compass. Towards the west and east, the outer facade will be a delicate shell in perforated fibre cement, with underlying solar screening and natural ventilation. To the south it will be a pure glass facade, with a pattern created by solar cells and solar screening, while to the north, the glass facade will have a printed or sandblasted pattern.
The faculty will have a roof with approximately 700 square metres of solar panels. The focus is on low energy consumption, a high-quality inner climate, and a use of materials that ensures minimal environmental impact.
Designed for knowledge-sharing
Internally, too, the faculty presents a unique and inspirational appearance. In the heart of the building you will find Møblet ('the Furniture Piece') - a large, continuous stairway construction that encompasses seminar and meeting rooms as well as relaxation areas.
Bridges and corridors cross "Møblet" as fluid transitions between the various institutions, encouraging collegiality and the use of each other's knowledge.
The new building is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2015.
