Ready to explore a school undergoing a massive transformation? Damhusengens Skole is not just any school. It is a vision of the future.
Damhusengens Skole located in Vanløse is currently undergoing a huge renovation and expansion. This project aims to create a modern educational environment. The project is expected to be completed in 2027. It will be one of Copenhagen’s largest school projects.
Imagine a school with seven class tracks. Envision space for 1,900 students. Picture a place that includes a day-care center. Consider the convenience of an on-site dental clinic. This is the ambitious plan for Damhusengens Skole.
This massive project combines the former Hyltebjerg Skole and Vanløse Skole. Hyltebjerg Skole was torn down to make way for new buildings. The vision is to create a top-notch school. It also aims to establish a green urban space for the entire community.
Sustainability is a key focus. Over 350,000 recycled bricks from the demolished Hyltebjerg Skole will be used. These bricks will find new life in the construction.
The expansion addresses Copenhagen’s growing population. More school and day-care spaces are needed. The goal is to create attractive facilities for children and young people.
Damhusengens Skole aims to be more than just a school. It wants to be a vital part of the community. The school hopes to be a gathering place for children, parents, and staff. It seeks to invite local residents for activities after school hours. The construction includes a day-care center and after-school facilities. It will also house a community center and dental clinic. You will also find a swimming pool, playground, public park, and food workshop. The plans include small green oases and 250 new trees around the play areas.
Damhusengens Skole is being renovated in stages. Construction is planned for building 6 in 2025.
The transformation of Damhusengens Skole is more than just construction. It is about creating a vibrant community hub. This will be a place where education and community come together.
