COWI Head Office Renovation and Sustainability - se status

33 000 m² moderne kontorplass

COWI is undertaking a comprehensive renovation and expansion project for its head office located near Lyngby Station, north of Copenhagen. The project involves refurbishing and reusing existing office buildings owned by the Danish pension fund Velliv. In addition to the renovation, architectural extensions and covered areas are being added based on the existing structural framework. Upon completion, the project will deliver a total of 33,000 square meters of modern office space designed to accommodate approximately 1,800 employees currently based at the location.

Prioriterer gjenbruk og energioptimalisering

The project places a strong emphasis on sustainability by focusing on refurbishment, material reuse, and energy optimization rather than new construction. By conserving heavy load-bearing structures and prioritizing the recycling of existing materials, COWI aims to significantly reduce the environmental impact and consumption of natural resources. The architectural design, developed in close collaboration with Arkitema architects and pension fund Velliv, integrates innovative transformation techniques to create a future-proof and climate-friendly office building that minimizes carbon footprint and improves energy efficiency.

Strategisk satsing på bærekraft

This renovation and expansion demonstrate a strategic investment by COWI and its partners in advanced sustainable construction solutions. The upgraded facilities will benefit from excellent transport connections and proximity to the Technical University of Denmark, enhancing the workplace environment and supporting a vibrant business ecosystem. The project serves as a practical example of sustainable urban office development, showcasing COWI’s ambition to lead by example in reuse and renovation practices within the construction industry.

Ferdigstilles i 2028 med faseinndelt plan

The timeline for this significant construction project schedules completion for 2028. This aligns with COWI's vision of providing optimal, state-of-the-art workspaces while reinforcing their commitment to sustainable building practices. The phased renovation approach, combined with innovative reuse and energy-saving technologies, positions the head office renovation as a landmark project in sustainable construction and office modernization in Denmark.
