THE BUILDING:
The new HEALTH building is located between the existing SDU and the new OUH on Campus Odense.
The building will physically connect the university and the new university hospital. This means that there will be direct access to the new faculty building from both the existing SDU and the new OUH once it is completed.
Through the new HEALTH building, it will eventually be possible to walk 1.3 km from the main entrance of SDU in the north to the main entrance of the new OUH in the south under one roof.
The new HEALTH building continues the architecture that characterizes SDU Campus Odense.
The winged structure with courtyards is reinforced, while the light concrete, the reddish-brown steel, and the glass elements are used in a natural extension of the existing campus architecture.
The new HEALTH building has three floors, which are generally located one floor above the ground with a partial ground floor.
This allows for passage under the building in parts of its stretch, which generally runs in three north-south lanes from SDU in the north to the new OUH in the south.
The new HEALTH building will physically connect the University of Southern Denmark and the new university hospital, Nyt OUH, on Campus Odense.
Once the construction is completed, it will be possible to walk 1.3 kilometers from the main entrance of SDU in the north to the main entrance of new OUH in the south under one roof.
The total construction will cover over 500,000 square meters, with the new HEALTH building accounting for 50,000 square meters of this.
The new HEALTH building will become a workplace for thousands of employees and students at the Faculty of Health Sciences.
The building will house laboratories, offices, meeting rooms, lecture halls, auditoriums, and study areas in addition to animal facilities and facilities for anatomy and forensic medicine.
The following institutes and departments will be located in the building:
- Department of Molecular Medicine
- Department of Public Health
- Department of Forensic Medicine
- Department of Psychology
- Department of Clinical Research (secretariat)
- Department of Regional Health Research (secretariat)
- Faculty Secretariat
- Department of Anatomy
- Biomedical Laboratory
The building will also allocate space for research groups from OUH and other leases.
The construction of the new HEALTH building is ongoing until the beginning of 2023, when SDU will take over the building by the end of April.
Subsequently, in the following months, SDU will carry out technical preparation of the various sections of the building.
From August 1, 2023, SDU will initiate the move into the new HEALTH building.
THE MOVE:
The activities of the Faculty of Health Sciences in Winsløwparken and parts of Campus Odense are to be moved to the new HEALTH building.
The move involves the relocation of people and activities, equipment, apparatus, and furniture and applies to the following institutes, departments, and areas:
- Department of Molecular Medicine
- Department of Public Health
- Department of Forensic Medicine
- Department of Psychology
- Department of Clinical Research (secretariat)
- Department of Regional Health Research (secretariat)
- Faculty Secretariat
- Department of Anatomy
- Biomedical Laboratory
The construction of the new HEALTH building is ongoing until the beginning of 2023, when SDU will take over the building by the end of April.
Subsequently, in the following months, SDU will carry out technical preparation of the various sections of the building.
From August 2023, SDU will initiate the move into the new HEALTH building.
The units and employees who are moving are responsible for:
- Packing their own belongings in moving boxes.
- Preparing their own furniture and IT equipment for the move.
- Labeling moving boxes, furniture, and equipment with moving labels.
Contact persons in the various units will inform individual employees about when they should start packing.
The timetable for each unit will be agreed upon between the contact persons, Technical Service, and Møbeltransport DK.
Packing and preparation of special equipment:
Regarding IT equipment in the laboratories, the method for packing and moving is agreed upon with LAB IT.
For other laboratory equipment, refer to the agreements made at the moving meetings between Technical Service, Møbeltransport Danmark, and the units' contact persons.- See a list of the units' contact persons here. (The list is in Danish)
- More information about packing can be found in the guide here. (The guide is in Danish)
Flyttefirmaet Møbeltransport Danmark is responsible for the move to the new faculty building.
They have previously been responsible for moving the Faculty of Engineering and also handle the smaller internal moves that occur at SDU.
However, if there are special moves, other actors may need to be involved besides Møbeltransport Danmark.
How the equipment should be moved and by whom will be stated in the moving plans, which will be prepared by each unit in collaboration with Technical Services and Møbeltransport Danmark.
You will be provided with a key to the new HEALTH building by the key administrator in your department.
Each unit will collaborate with Technial Services and Møbeltransport DK to develop a detailed moving plan.
During this planning, among many other things, decisions will be made on how the equipment will be moved and by whom.
If there are special moves involved, other actors may need to be involved in addition to Møbeltransport DK.
The ambition is to make it as seamless as possible to start using the new building and to keep core activities running while we move.
Therefore, we strive to make the moving period as short as possible.
Technical Service, together with the individual units, will focus on this in the planning process, so that operational and research activities can be maintained as much as possible.
However, this does not change the fact that the move will to some extent cause disturbance - but we will do what we can to minimize it.
As a starting point, the Department of Molecular Medicine (IMM) will share building 41 with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB).
This will continue until BMB can move into the renovated area that the Department of Anatomy will vacate when they move to premises in the new HEALTH building.
IMM's move into building 41 will therefore take place in two stages:
- Move into limited space in the building.
- Occupation of the entire building once BMB has moved and the premises have been renovated.
Moving Plan
The overall timeline for the move specifies the timeframe in which various units from IMM are to move to Building 41.
Since the renovation of Building 41 has not yet been planned in detail, this may affect the timeline.
Further details will be provided at planning meetings with the relevant units, where Technical Service and Møbeltransport DK will develop a detailed moving plan for and in collaboration with each affected unit.
Contact persons:
All units have a contact person(s) who coordinates the local moves.
If you have any questions about the move, the recommendation is to start with them.
Partly because there are likely answers to be found with them, but also so they can gather and send a collective inquiry to Technical Service and stay in the loop with information.
See the list of the units' contact persons here. (The list is in Danish)
That being said, Technical Service naturally answers all inquiries, including those from people other than the contact persons.
Technical Service:
8866@sdu.dk is a shared mailbox for handling inquiries related to Technical Service's tasks in connection with the move to the New SUND.
These inquiries may come from employees at the faculty, members of the project organization, colleagues in Technical Service, or colleagues in the Common Area.
The mailbox should be used to handle inquiries related to cleaning, packing of furniture and equipment, the actual moving process, moving into the new building, and the layout of common meeting rooms, classrooms, and common areas where Technical Service is responsible for planning, execution, and/or assistance.
Since Technical Service has the overall project management of the move to the new HEALTH building, the mailbox can also be used to handle inquiries regarding activities that Technical Service is not directly performing, but are handled by other participants in the project, either in the Common Area or at the faculty.
Technical Service will then ensure that inquiries are forwarded to those responsible for the task related to the inquiry. This may include inquiries regarding rental/sublease agreements, tenders and purchases, IT, and space management.
CANTEEN AND KITCHENS:
In the new HEALTH building, there is access to kitchenettes for staff on the ground floor as well as on the first and second floors.
On the three floors you will find the kitchenettes in connection with office and laboratory areas down through the entire building.
- The ground floor contains 3 kitchenettes
- The first floor contains 10 kitchenettes
- The 2nd floor contains 16 kitchenettes
As a rule, there will not be local lunchrooms reserved for a special staff group.
Lunch, on the other hand, can be taken in the large dining area in the building's western walkway over Killerup Rende or in the existing canteens at SDU.
See location of kitchenettes in the new HEALTH building here.
In addition to the kitchen elements themselves, all 29 kitchenettes in the new HEALTH building are equipped with:
- New fridge (Gorenje)
- New microwave (Samsung 28 liters)
- New dishwasher (Grundig)
- New electric kettle (Point)
In addition, it will also be possible to install a coffee machine in all kitchenettes.
The coffee machines are moved from WP and placed strategically. If it turns out that there are not enough machines, the faculty will order more.
It is initially Technical Service that pays for appliances.
Example of the arrangement of a kitchenette:
In the new HEALTH building's western walkway over Killerup Rende, there will be a large dining area with a view of nature on the first floor.
Here you can also buy a sandwich and a cup of coffee in a canteen sale. However, there will not be a dedicated canteen in the HEALTH building. Here you must use the existing canteens at SDU.
As a rule, there will also be no local lunchrooms reserved for a special staff group.
Location of the dining area in the new HEALTH building:
OFFICE SPACES:
The new HEALTH building runs in three tracks from SDU in the north to New OUH in the south.
The three tracks are distributed over three floors, where the offices are primarily located on the 1st and 2nd floor in the middle track.
In addition, offices will be set up for laboratory technicians and researchers immediately opposite the laboratories on the first and second floors in the laboratory track to the west.
Furthermore, there will be offices in the arrival area at the main entrance to the new faculty building.
There are no open plan offices in the new HEALTH building.
The offices are primarily designed as enclosed offices in the following sizes:
- 9.3 square meters (2,740 x 3,055)
- 14.2 square meters (2,737 x 4,607)
- 22.6 square meters (4.55 x 4,655)
This will typically provide space for 1, 2, 3, or 4 people, respectively.
See floor plans of the offices in:
The standard furnishing of workplaces in the new HEALTH building focuses on reuse and sustainability.
The starting point is therefore that office furniture is reused in connection with the move. Furniture that is not reused is included in SDU's second-hand market.
New purchases for office furnishings are made collectively from a central level, while financing is decentralized at the institute level.
At the Faculty of Health Sciences, we strive to use office space efficiently to minimize vacancy.
This means that the office workspace should generally be tidy and neutral, so that anyone can use a space that is empty on a given day or week.
This principle supports SDU's work on the Sustainable Development Goals, where buildings are a significant part of our climate impact.
It also supports the paper-minimized office, which is an SDU initiative in connection with our work on the Sustainable Development Goals.
On this basis, there will also be limited space for storage inside the offices.
Instead, it will be possible to equip the original printer rooms with lockable drawers or lockers, so that personal belongings can be stored there.
In a standard layout, offices are designed to accommodate 1-4 workstations and not much else. As a result, there will be limited space for storage inside the offices, including books and personal belongings.
However, the standard layouts can be adjusted locally and supplemented with individual needs. This means that the layout can be adapted decentrally to support the people who use the workstations on a daily basis.
Decisions regarding the specific layout of the offices are made at the individual institutes and in the faculty secretariat, where the allocation of workstations between units and employees will also take place.
It is allowed to have pictures, notice boards, whiteboards, coat racks, and other items on the walls.
However, it is not allowed to hang them directly on the wall. They must be hung on a wall rail (PO rail).
Technical Service will install rails according to the desired and necessary specifications when we move in.
It will be possible to install 1 wall rail per office with corresponding hooks for boards, coat racks, and other items.
Where there is a need to mount a TV screen, Technical Service will assist in mounting it directly on the wall.
Example of hanging with a wall rail:
CULTURE:
The Faculty of Health Science's culture is about 'our': Our relationships across units, shared use of facilities and resources, knowledge sharing and collaboration.
The culture is about us collectively having the resources and facilities necessary to deliver research, education, dissemination, and technical-administrative support of the high quality that is the faculty´s goal.
Such a culture is built on trust and recognition of each other's needs and differences.
- You can read more about the faculty's culture and the vision for New HEALTH here. (Please note that the information is in Danish).
With new HEALTH building, we are creating the framework for a relationship-oriented culture with a focus on flexibility and shared use.
This means, among other things:
1. That the building will contain both individual workspaces and shared facilities.- The workspaces are located in offices for typically 1-4 people, surrounded by shared facilities.
- The shared facilities include informal meeting places, meeting rooms, outdoor areas, dining areas, and more.
- While the workspace is for individual work, there are plenty of facilities for other activities.
- When we share facilities and utilize resources collectively, we optimize the way we use the building.
- At the same time, the intention is that shared use of facilities provides more knowledge about each other's work and competencies, which will benefit the community across units.
- In addition, attention to shared use and utilization of resources means that more groups can come together to make purchases and, for example, buy one really good piece of equipment instead of two less good ones.
- If we have the opportunity to arrange our physical presence at work more flexibly, it can improve our work-life balance and thus increase both well-being and efficiency.
- At the same time, flexible presence also enables us to organize our workday in relation to the type of tasks we need to perform. While individual tasks that require immersion and tranquility can be done from home, we can physically show up at work to cultivate communities and solve tasks together.
- Last but not least, flexible presence also supports a better use of space and facilities. This means, for example, that more employees can share an office workspace, so no spaces are left unused during the week.
The faculty management consisting of the dean, secretariat director, and department heads have decided to implement the option of flexible presence for the entire faculty in connection with the move to the new HEALTH building.
Flexible presence will be introduced as an option for all employees at SUND where it makes sense and where the nature of the work allows it, and where it can improve well-being, performance, and job satisfaction.
Flexible presence is being introduced partly to ensure that there will be office space for everyone in the building both at the time of relocation and in relation to growth at the faculty.
In addition, new working methods are an important theme in the vision for New HEALTH in relation to employee well-being. There is a particular focus on meeting the need for individual immersion, work communities, and flexibility.
Central framework - local adaptation
The overall framework for flexible presence is based on common ambitions for the entire faculty (see below), but the specific framework is agreed upon and implemented locally in the departments and in the faculty secretariat.
This means that relevant leaders can make agreements with employees about a combination of working from home and physical presence, which is tailored to local and individual conditions.
Framework and success criteria for flexible presence
- The scheme for flexible presence comes into effect on January 1st, 2023.
- Until then, there will be a learning and pilot period during which the schemes can be agreed locally - for example, where there is a particular interest or immediate need.
- Each institute/unit is allocated an area in the new HEALTH building/OU41, which can be distributed overall. Institutes and units outside the new building will generally retain their current areas.
- Institute/department heads can enter into local agreements on physical presence with employees/groups of employees.
- Planning for physical presence can be done with inspiration from the four models for office culture.
- Office workspaces are set up neutrally, so that others can use the space when it is available.
- The paper-minimized workspace is established.
- All unused daily office space can be used freely, so that vacancy is avoided.
- A decision is made on a common standard for setting up the home office in the implementation.
- Flexible presence and office sharing have been agreed upon for all departments and for all types of employees as of January 1, 2023.
- At least 20% of permanent employees have an agreement on flexible presence at the time of moving in.
- At least 40% of permanent employees will have an agreement on flexible presence as of January 1, 2028.
LABORATORIES:
The new HEALTH building runs in three tracks from SDU in the north to the new OUH in the south.
The western track, which is furthest away from the tram, is the laboratory track.
The three tracks are spread over three floors, with the laboratories primarily located on the first and second floors in the western track.
On the ground floor, you find the biobank, animal stables, storage rooms, changing rooms, and more.
The new HEALTH building is generally laid out in three tracks from SDU in the north to the new OUH in the south. The track furthest to the west is the laboratory track.
The laboratory track is divided into several different laboratory corridors that run along the building. They are delimited by transverse corridors that connect the building's three north-south tracks.
In addition to laboratory facilities, a laboratory corridor also includes workstations for laboratory technicians and researchers directly opposite the laboratories.
Moreover, you will find a kitchenette, meeting rooms, and a toilet at the ends of the laboratory corridor facing the transverse corridors.
Example of a laboratory corridor:
When we talk about common facilities and shared use of facilities, a distinction is made between:
- facilities that are common to the entire Faculty of Health Sciences
- facilities that are common within a laboratory corridor.
The latter facilities are shared among the residents of the area, where the community may include joint finances understood in the sense that, for example, a joint purchase is agreed upon.
Note that the use of the common facilities describes a standard. There may be special circumstances related to specific research procedures.
Common SUND facilities across the entire faculty:
- Dishwashing and autoclave
- Purchase and inventory of standard items
- Biobank BML
- Cell lab class 2
- -80 degree freezers
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Water treatment plant and ice machines
- Workshop function
Common facilities within a laboratory corridor:
- Storage
- Shared room for various equipment
- Extra refrigerators/freezers
- Chemical room, weighing stations, and chemical refrigerators including temperature-stable refrigerators
- Areas for collaborative work and informal ad hoc meetings
MEETINGS:
The new HEALTH building is generally divided into three north-south tracks from SDU in the north to the new OUH in the south. The tracks are spread over three floors.
Laboratories are located in the western track, office areas in the middle, and teaching rooms and study areas are located in the easternmost track.
Throughout the building, the three tracks are connected by transverse corridors.
In the transverse corridors, you will find, among other things, informal meeting areas and access to meeting rooms.

Example of layout:
The meeting rooms in the new HEALTH building will be released for booking, as they are completed with furniture and AV equipment.
This will happen during August, and the rooms will gradually become available from week 34. However, please note that all AV equipment may not be fully in place by September 1st.
When a meeting room becomes available for booking, you can find and book it in Outlook.
If you need to reserve meeting rooms on Campusvej before the new meeting rooms in the HEALTH building are released, you are welcome to book the existing meeting rooms on Campus Odense.
NAMING AND SIGNAGE:
The new HEALTH building is part of the ØV number system, and all rooms will be assigned an ØV number.
You can learn more about the ØV number system here.
The ØV number will be displayed on or next to the door of the room, along with additional information about the room.
In the new HEALTH building, units can, as on the rest of Campus Odense, add/change the content on the signs for the rooms they control.
The signs with the ØV numbers allow for additional information to be added, such as the room's function or the name(s) of the employee(s) in an office, possibly supplemented with a unit name.
Upon moving in
Upon moving in, there may not necessarily be any content on the signs, but Technical Service will always have indicated the ØV number at a minimum, as it is needed for labeling the destination on moving boxes, furniture, and equipment.
Be aware that the ØV number is fixed and must always correspond to the room it was originally assigned to.
If an employee moves from one office to another, the sign should NOT be taken with them as the ØV number will not match the new location. A new sign should be printed with the name and other information replaced.
Example of door sign
The naming of the teaching rooms in the new HEALTH building will follow the same template as the rest of Campus Odense.
Each level/floor will have its own numbering series in the naming of the teaching rooms, including group rooms and study cells:
- Level 0: U200
- Level 1: U300
- Level 2: U400
Teaching Rooms on Campus Odense
The template for naming teaching rooms on Campus Odense is a U followed by a number. For example, U60.
As renovations and extensions have been carried out, the original logic in the numbering sequence has been broken in several places on Campus.
Thus, there is not a consistent ascending sequence in the numbers from south to north in the building mass, but rather jumps in the numbers in several places where teaching rooms have either been closed or created in response to changing needs.
When creating teaching rooms in new building sections, the numbering sequence in that cluster will be consistent, while new rooms in existing buildings have been fitted in with the addition of letters.
For example, U30 appears on level 1 at Stenten, while U30A, which was added later, appears on the floor above.
The naming of the meeting rooms in the new HEALTH building is based on a logic that connects them to their location in the building:
- Level 0: M-0.10
- Level 1: M-1.10
- Level 2: M-2.10
M stands for meeting room. The first number indicates the level/floor. The last number indicates the number of the meeting room.
Meeting rooms on Campus Odense
The naming of the meeting rooms on Campus Odense bears the imprint of different eras and actors.
Some faculties and departments have attempted to indicate coherence with research areas or work areas in their naming, while other meeting rooms have been named more neutrally.
All shared meeting rooms will appear in the overview that is available when scheduling meetings in Outlook.
The design and placement of maps and signs in the new HEALTH building are based on the signage and wayfinding that exists on the rest of Campus Odense.
With that as a starting point, the following is a proposal for the signage in the building, although there may be changes.
You can see the proposal below. Please note that the information is only available in Danish.
$name
$name
Entrances and corridors in the new HEALTH building, like the rest of Campus Odense, have been named with roots in the surrounding nature and cultural history.
- The entrance in the northern end where the building connects to SDU has been named Stenten S.
- The entrance in the southern end, which is shared with OUH, has been named Koblingen.
- 6 smaller entrances under the building will be named after the side corridors they lead into.
- All entrances will be given an address for emergency services: Campusvej followed by a house number.
Main corridor in the new HEALTH building:
- The main corridor running north-south through the building has been named Aksen (The Axis).
Side corridors in the new HEALTH building:
The six side corridors running east-west through the building have been named:
- Skoven (The Forest)
- Marken (The Field)
- Tveden (The Copse)
- Toften (The Croft)
- Forten N* (The Fort North*)
- Forten S* (The Fort South*)
*Forten N and Forten S mark two different entrances to the passage around the open area where Killerup Rende runs under the building. They are thus part of the same corridor and not usually two separate side corridors. See the map of corridors and entrances in the new HEALTH buidling below.
PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION:
500 bicycle parking spaces will be established in connection with the new HEALTH buidling. Of these, approximately 300 will be covered.
The bicycle parking spaces will be established at:
- The main entrance to the new HEALTH building, located where the faculty building connects to the existing SDU.
- The main entrance to Koblingsbygningen, which is the building that connects the faculty building with Nyt OUH.
- The decentralized entrances under 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.
View the location of parking spaces around SDU:
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.
SPACE ALLOCATION:
The overall distribution of workplaces in the new HEALTH building has been determined.
It indicates where the individual departments and units will be located and which areas they will each have at their disposal.
The distribution, which has been approved by the faculty management consisting of the dean, department heads, and the faculty's secretariat chief, will serve as a basis for further decentralized planning, where allocation of spaces to departments and employees will take place.
The overall allocation of space in the new HEALTH building has been determined. It indicates how offices and workplaces are distributed among the faculty's different units and will serve as a basis for further decentralized planning.
This means that the institutes and faculty secretariat themselves decide how their areas should be designed, where their different departments should be located, and where each individual employee should have a workspace.
Since this planning takes place locally at the relevant institute or at the faculty secretariat, the process may vary.
Therefore, contact your head of department if you want to know more about the decentralized planning and allocation of spaces.
In addition to workspaces for the faculty's institutes and faculty secretariat, space has also been allocated in the new HEALTH building for:
- Meeting rooms
- Meeting areas/common areas for the faculty
- Dining area
- Teaching
- Study zones/common areas for SDU
- Student organizations
- Biobank
- Technical and operational support
- Other facilities such as kitchenettes, printer rooms, etc.)
See the overall allocation of spaces in the new HEALTH building.
MAIL, PACKAGES AND GOODS:
When we move to the new HEALTH building, all goods, letters, and packages must be addressed to:
Campusvej 55
5230 Odense M
They will be handled by Technical Service, Logistics, who will ensure that they are forwarded.
For The Faculty of Health Sciences, this means that they will be delivered to one of four central reception rooms on the ground floor of the new faculty building.
All letters, goods and packages are delivered to one of four central reception rooms located on the ground floor of the new HEALTH building.
You will need to collect your mail from the reception room assigned to you.
As the system for digital notification of mail is not fully developed yet, you will need to check the reception room yourself as a default.
Reception Rooms:
The four central receiving rooms are located in buildings OU 41 and the new HEALTH building, in sections 45.2, 45.4, and 45.6.
All rooms are equipped with Mail/pigeonhole and shelves.
There will be electronic access control at the entrance doors to monitor who accesses the rooms.
Here you can see an overview of the reception rooms.
In addition to the four central rooms, the Biomedical Laboratory also has its own receiving room in the new HEALTH building.
WASTE SORTING:
The Faculty of Science has conducted a pilot project on waste sorting in office corridors.
The solutions tested in the pilot project are now being expanded to the rest of the campus, including the new HEALTH building, as part of SDU's climate plan.
This means that there will be no waste bins in the offices in the new building.
As on the rest of SDU, they will be replaced by central waste stations in corridors and common areas, where sorting can be done in several fractions.
In addition to waste stations in common areas, there will also be waste stations in connection with laboratories in the new HEALTH building, for example.
Below you will find information on different types of waste stations in the new HEALTH building - and where they are located. Please note that the information is only available in Danish.

Since the new HEALTH building was designed, adaptations have taken place at SDU, which have reduced the need for print rooms.
This means that 4 print rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors respectively will be converted into waste rooms.
The rooms are located close to the laboratories on the western side of the building, where they must support waste sorting from the laboratory corridors.
In the laboratory corridors, there will also be waste stations in the laboratories and in the apparatus rooms.
In addition to waste stations in connection with the laboratories, there will also be shared waste stations by the office corridors.
Below you will find information about different types of waste collection in the new HEALTH building - and where these are located. Please note that the information is only available in Danish.

TEACHING AND STUDY ENVIRONMENT:
The new HEALTH building is generally laid out in three north-south tracks from SDU in the north to Nyt OUH in the south. The tracks are distributed over three floors.
In the track furthest east, on the first floor, there is a corridor with:
- Classrooms
- Group rooms
- Practice laboratories
- Auditoriums
- Study areas
- Meeting areas
From the corridor, there is also access to teaching facilities on the ground floor.
The classrooms and study areas are thus centrally and coherently located, creating a vibrant study environment.
Furthermore, the teaching facilities are located in such a way that the students will have a natural connection to both the university and the university hospital.
See the location of the teaching facilities on the floor plans here.
There are a total of 55 classrooms in the new HEALTH building.
Out of these, 42 are regular classrooms that are shared and can be booked and used by everyone across SDU.
Additionally, there are 13 special classrooms reserved for The Faculty of Health Sciences and can only be booked and used by relevant users.
The classrooms are evenly distributed throughout the building and are designed to accommodate various teaching methods.
The teaching facilities in the new HEALTH building are designed to support and accommodate different teaching methods.
Based on this, a proposal for the layout of all 55 classrooms in the building has been developed.
Out of these, 42 are general classrooms that are shared and can be booked and used by everyone across SDU.
Additionally, there are 13 special classrooms reserved for SUND and can only be booked and used by relevant users.
Shared SDU classrooms:
- U240, U241, U250
