Article source: C. F. Møller Architects VIA University College, Campus Horsens will unify a variety of education programs in a vibrant and active educational setting deeply rooted in the city. Campus Horsens establishes itself as a city in the city with a continuation of the area’s building block structure and classical city motives such as narrow streets, parks and urban squares. At the same time, the campus connects with the city by establishing a path that connects the three new urban areas, Campus Square, Expo-pladsen and Innovation Square, which all lies as a natural extension of the city’s flow.

Expo-pladsen will be the main welcoming area, while Innovation Square will function as the daily arrival area for many students and employees. Innovation Square has space for outdoor activities and lies in direct connection with the campus workshop environment, while the Expo-pladsen has room for longer pauses, café environments as well as exhibition and performance activities. The central urban space, Campus Square, becomes the area’s vibrant and dynamic urban space with room for major events, gatherings and celebrations.  Image Courtesy © C. F. Møller Architects  Image Courtesy © C. F. Møller Architects The connecting path, the Campus line, connects to the existing cycle and pedestrian network of the city. This connection brings the city into the campus and activates the new urban areas, such as Campus Square. In continuation of Expo-pladsen lies Campusstrædet, which with its densified character mixes green, recreational study and play areas with workshops and student café. In between the urban spaces three buildings fit in, one for the VIA University College and the Innovation House, one for the SOSU and one for the Learnmark, VUC and HF. In the center, both buildings and the various education programs are gathered in the covered atrium, Campus LAB, which invites to cooperation between the various academic environments and thereby creating coherence and the basis for knowledge sharing. “C.F. Møller’s proposal is visionary and forward-looking, and provides full potential for education programmes of high quality.”  Image Courtesy © C. F. Møller Architects  Image Courtesy © C. F. Møller Architects This is the wording of the adjudicators’ report on the recently completed architectural competition for a large element of Campus Horsens. The new VIA University College and Innovation House, comprising 35,000 m² in total, will together constitute close to half of the new combined campus area in Horsens, which CASA A/S in 2015 won the right to develop, with Horsens Municipality as the client.

Møller Architects “During the past three months we’ve made a concerted effort to present complete and comprehensive competition material. We’ve enjoyed a constructive and very exciting dialogue process, which has made a key contribution to the final project. The vision for Campus Horsens has great international potential and it’s fantastic that we can help to set the framework for the education complex of the future, which makes us really proud of the result,” says Michael Kruse, partner in C.F. Møller and the architect responsible for the project.  Image Courtesy © C. F. Møller Architects  Image Courtesy © C. F. Møller Architects  Image Courtesy © C. F.
