Characteristic of the proposal is its ability to convey the building's function and connection to the fjord through site-specific architecture, well-chosen materials, and a high level of transparency. Visitors will experience the building integrating with its green surroundings, adapting its expression to the area's architecture and nature.

Søren Tortzen, design lead and head of branch of C.F. Møller in Aalborg, says,
"The building will stand prominently with robust materials, seamlessly integrating into the existing building mass both in scale and material. Through large glass sections, the building opens up to the surrounding environment, allowing a view of the technology and functions inside."

Climate Friendly Focus
The material selection underscores an environmentally friendly focus with options for recycling and durability. Insect hotels are integrated into the ground floor's modular facade system, contributing to increased biodiversity in the area.

The visibility of the facility's function, inviting character with green areas, and strategically placed plinths for relaxation contribute to conveying the green transition, community, and knowledge sharing.

The facility itself will harness energy from Limfjorden to produce hot district heating water. The overall system consists of three 44 MW heat pump units, each being the world's largest based on natural refrigerants. In total, it is one of the world's largest seawater heat pumps, located in Norbis Park by Limfjorden.

MAN Energy Solutions is the supplier of the pumps.
