The new HEALTH building

Hop on your bike and head to the new HEALTH building

When the new faculty building is put into use from August 2023, you will have plenty of opportunities to get there by bike. Both bicycle paths and bicycle parking will be established around the building.

With protected forest on both sides, the new HEALTH building sits as a bridge between the existing SDU and New OUH.

While the preserved forest contributes to biodiversity and provides a beautiful view, it also means that parking right next to the new faculty building is not possible. Find information about parking on Campus Odense here.

On the other hand, you can get very close using the tram, and there are excellent bicycle paths and bicycle parking facilities that will take you right to the entrances of the new building.


Bicycle parking around the HEALTH building 

In connection with new HEALTH building, 500 bicycle parking spaces will be established, of which approximately 300 will be covered.

They will be located at:

  • The main entrance to the faculty building, situated where the building connects to the existing SDU. This entrance is called Stenten S.
  • The main entrance to the linking building, which is the building connecting faculty building with New OUH. This entrance is called Koblingen.
  • The decentralized entrances under the faculty building. These entrances are named Marken, Tveden, Toften, Forten N.

Bicycle paths around the HEALTH building

When the new HEALTH building is put into use, it will be possible to reach it via different cycling routes.

  • On the west side, you can come from the north along the existing bicycle paths and continue on the newly constructed paths under the building to the covered bicycle parking spaces.
  • On the east side, you can come from the existing supercycle path along the tram and continue on the newly constructed paths under the building to the covered bicycle parking spaces.
  • The supercycle path alongside the tram on Campusvej has been connected to a newly constructed bicycle path underneath the new HEALTH building, which runs along New OUH towards Munkebjergvej.


CAR AND TRAM TO THE NEW HEALTH BUILDING

If you arrive at the new HEALTH building by car, you can use one of the 8 SDU parking spaces available around the university.

It is estimated that the established parking facilities will provide enough space, even when the new faculty building is put into use.

If, contrary to expectations, there are too few spaces, an additional 200 to 400 spaces can be quickly established. Two additional parking spaces are ready to be ordered when necessary.

If challenges arise with spaces being used by non-SDU staff/students, it is possible to activate a system with license plate recognition.

Find more information about parking and entrances at Campus Odense here.

The tram stops at two locations near the new HEALTH building:

  • The main entrance to the new HEALTH building, located where the faculty building connects to the existing SDU.
  • The main entrance to Koblingsbygningen, which connects the faculty building to Nyt OUH.
