The Niels Bohr Building

The building is conceived as a social framework—an architecture that encourages interdisciplinary collaboration while providing an attractive and stimulating environment for research and learning. The outdoor spaces surrounding the Niels Bohr Building serve dual purposes: functional areas directly related to the building and inviting public spaces that engage with the wider city. These include six courtyards, a green connection spanning above and below Jagtvej, and gardens facing into the University Park.

The campus landscape connects the newly constructed research centre to the existing city structure. Through its network of linking outdoor spaces, rain gardens, courtyards, and parkland, the project spans the full spectrum of landscape architecture disciplines, from paving and planting to lighting design. The parkland acts as a connective tissue across Jagtvej—both visually and physically—bringing the two halves of the university together into one coherent campus narrative. This continuity is achieved by extending the park over and under Jagtvej via a dedicated passage, ensuring a clear, functional, and visible link between the two sides.
