The Niels Bohr Building includes research and education activities for the Faculty of Science and the Niels Bohr Institute at The University of Copenhagen.
The bulk of the Faculty of Science will be gathered in the Niels Bohr Building.
The building includes modern study facilities and auditoriums, as well as very specialised laboratories for chemistry, physics and nano technology and contains equipment with extremely high sensitivity to vibrations and magnetism.
The project covers 55.000 m² of sprawling education on Jagtvej, a busy road cutting through the northern part of Copenhagen. The two building volumes are connected via a subway below and linked by a skywalk above.
The two buildings will be completely clad in pyramid-shaped glass elements which will create a play of transparency and broken reflections on the facades. The facade pattern is intended to tie the two buildings visually together, but at the same time ensure a slightly heterogeneous impression.
