DTU
Client advisor to DTU – Transformation of three Campuses at the Technical University of Denmark
Through a number of years, Schønherr has acted as advisor to DTU in relation to the planning and transformation of the institution's three campuses in Lyngby, Ballerup, and Risø. The assignments span wide - from strategic campus plans and analysis to development plans, design guides, project design, and site supervision.
Scenario iterations
A central element of the collaboration has been to create solutions that accommodate the many diverse needs that characterise DTU’s organisation.
Based on user engagement analysis and prerequisite reports, Schønherr has developed various scenarios for how the different needs can be met within the projects. These scenarios have served as an effective basis for dialogue, strengthening the open collaboration process with DTU. Among other things, they have made it possible to discuss the balance between preserving the character of the campus areas while at the same time ensuring the necessary expansion of facilities and buildings.
The scenarios are qualified through dialogue with parallel projects and development processes. After possible adjustments, the scenarios are consolidated with recommendations for the parallel projects and plans.
Unifying architectural quality, functionality, and strategic goals
Schønherr’s role is to weave together input and interests across user groups and campuses, while also ensuring coordination and knowledge sharing. With a holistic approach, Schønherr ensures that DTU’s campus development unifies architectural quality, functionality, and strategic goals - for the benefit of both the university and its many users.
