Bunnik, the Netherlands, 20 January 2015 - The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has commissioned from BAM Danmark the construction of a new biotechnology research centre housing DTU Biosustain - Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability. The contract value is over €27 million. BAM expects to complete the project in July 2016.
The research centre will cover 12,000 square meters over six floors and will be the tallest building on the campus of DTU in Kongens Lyngby, fifteen kilometers north of Copenhagen. The building is designed by architects Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter in cooperation with consulting engineers MOE A/S. The centre will have access to advanced laboratories for biotechnology research, as well as meeting and office facilities and common areas.
DTU has contracted BAM on the basis of the most economically advantageous offer, including project organisation and process management. DTU has developed over twenty projects in Lyngby Campus, thereby strengthening the university's reputation as a world-class knowledge, education and research center.
This is the second contract for BAM Danmark, which was established in early 2014 to explore the opportunities the Danish construction market offers the Group. In August 2014 BAM Danmark won the contract for the new office building 345C for researchers from DTU Nanotech of the Faculty of Micro and Nanotechnology, also for DTU.
