Life

LIFE Campus in Lyngby offers an advanced laboratory environment for science teaching. Here, classes can work in a science learning center, where there are high-tech teaching laboratories targeted specifically for children and young people. The laboratories are equipped to imitate research environments from companies or universities. There is also an outdoor area that serves as an outdoor laboratory.

The laboratories are named after Danish and international scientists and men.

• Lehmann, Inge (1888-1993), Danish seismologist
• Bohr, Niels (1885-1962), Danish physicist
• Curie, Marie (1867-1934), Polish-born French chemist and physicist
• Franklin, Rosalind (1920–1958), English chemist
• Doudna, Jennifer (1964-), American biochemist

The architecture of the LIFE Campus is inspired by DNA strands, Fibonacci structures, and other scientific and mathematical patterns. The building is characterized by 96 solid oak columns, 12 of which are shaped like a fan above the main entrance.

LIFE Campus is not only a place of education, but also a center for the LIFE Foundation’s development work and a hub for collaboration with schools, companies and research environments. It was opened to school classes in October 2021 and has won a renowned architecture award, the Architizer A+ Award, in 20221.
