People-centred and focused on its patients, staff and students, the new Odense University Hospital (OUH) and Health Sciences faculty (SUND) will naturally occupy a special place on the world map of health care.

The new Odense University Hospital and Faculty of Health Sciences are prepared to become climate-neutral in the future. The building is low-energy class 1, and through the establishment of solar and geothermal heating and solar power, it can be upgraded to a climate-neutral building.

EKJ has been involved in the day-to-day project management for the consortium’s project team, including the establishment of a joint project office, building up the project management’s support functions for overall financial management, risk management, planning and schedules, reporting, quality and environmental management and strategy/plan for complex contracts and tenders.

The project encompasses many environmental challenges, including such issues as noise nuisance from the helipad and traffic, air emissions, purification of hospital waste water, management of clinical waste, archaeological finds, local plan considerations, municipal plan amendments, and many more.
