Arctic Station

Dissing+Weitling’s renovation experts are working on a transformation of the historic Arctic Station buildings on Greenland. As part of our framework agreement with the University of Copenhagen, we are making sure that facilities for specialist scientists and researchers are up to date.

Qeqertarsuaq in West Greenland is a unique research area, attracting scientists from all over the world.

There is increasing demand for the specialist education and research site, because urgent issues such as climate change and global warming have increased the need for large-scale studies of Arctic flora, fauna, and ecosystems. It is therefore of an important and pressing concern for the University of Copenhagen to create and maintain an attractive and modern research area. However, the facilities need a major overhaul to meet modern needs for a workplace and private homes for researchers.

Our transformation of the cultural heritage include work on every building at the Artic Station – the laboratory, the library, private homes, workshops, garage and more.
The Arctic Station will accommodate Ph.D. courses, workshops, and field excursions for professional communities, the 'Peoples University' and others.
