While still in the capital of Denmark, the children will have a daily life filled with fresh sea air and the sound of seagulls.

The first step of The City Hall was completed in 2014 and hosts 13.500m² of Citizen Service Centre. When fully completed, the building will have 25.000m² of offices, conference facilities, a public ground floor and a green rooftop terrace that overlooks the city of Lund and its surroundings all the way to Denmark.

The building’s circular shape and the adjustable louvers of the façade mirror the course of the sun. The sun being the predominant source of energy is the overriding design concept behind the new building. Green Lighthouse is based on a whole new experiment with an energy concept, consisting of a supply combination of district heating, photo voltaic, solar heating and - cooling and seasonal storage. 70% of the reduction of the energy consumption is the direct consequence of architectural design. "With the sun as the predominant source of energy, the building's round shape and the adjustable louvers of the facade mirror the course of the sun around the building." This is how Michael Christensen, architect, director and founder of Christensen & Co. architects explains the overriding design concept of the new building.

Presently, researchers, teachers and students are settling in to the new building, called DTU Compute, and it has already become a landmark of the university's high ambitions. The explanation is found in the architecture, which has been developed to stimulate and strengthen the sharing of scientific ideas and knowledge.
