A building for every aspect of research
A key idea behind Maersk Tower's architecture is to give researchers and students the best possible basis to create and gain new knowledge. The focus is on an open framework that encourages dialogue and cross-disciplinary cooperation. Another key objective has been to create ultra-modern laboratory facilities, so that research can be based on the latest technologies and the most up-to-date solutions.
Most of Maersk Tower is devoted to advanced research. The building is therefore designed to be completely stable. The building's core is cast in situ, so that the vibrations from the city's life do not disturb research. The building is also one of Denmark's most energy-efficient laboratory buildings, and reuses waste energy, with climate-friendly remote cooling, reuse of rainwater for sanitary purposes and irrigation, and the establishment of 1,500-m2 solar cells.
The building is designed by C.F. Møller and its sculptural, architectural expression makes it a new landmark in Copenhagen Science City.
