A building that links industry and researchLena Heldgaard Pind Jensen2019-11-08T10:18:50+01:00 A building that links industry and researchDTU Chemical Engineering will be given a new framework that emphasizes the innovative interaction between the business and scientific communities.. The Technical University of Denmark has a leading global position in the field of chemical and biochemical engineering. This is precisely what the new facilities in Building 228A are intended to support. The building must also strengthen the opportunities to train the students to work on a semi-industrial scale and bring fundamental research from the laboratory to industrial applications. The activities in the new building will range from high-temperature experiments to research with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In total, the project encompasses a new construction of approximately 6,000 m2 to link three existing buildings. To cap it all, there will be a large lounge area on top. A multi-functional building The building will include, among other things, GMO-classified laboratories, experimental halls, workshops, classrooms and meeting facilities. In addition to the technically advanced facilities, it is the multi-functionality in particular that makes the project special, says our Project Director, Ida Lindemann Jensen: ”Several functions with conflicting requirements are joined together. We have some functions that make noise, some functions that create dust, some extremely clean environments and some areas that require quiet and contemplation. This places high demands on the design of the building. Our efforts in the area of acoustics to ensure optimal sound conditions are a good example here.” Ida Lindemann Jensen Project DirectorLaboratories Building 228a, Technical University of Denmark Client Technical University of Denmark Turnkey contractor Hoffmann A/S Architects Mikkelsen Arkitekter, LINK arkitektur
