Alsion

Alsion is a university building that stretches along the Sønderborg waterfront with extensive glass walls and contemporary design. The complex contains lecture halls, a library, study areas, and a cafe for daily use.

The architecture firm 3XN designed and constructed the complex between 2002 and 2007, creating a new hub for higher education in Southern Denmark. This project represented the expansion of the University of Southern Denmark in the region.

The building draws students and local residents together through events and concerts held in its spaces. This role makes it more than just a place for studies.

Visitors can access the library, reserve study rooms, and use the cafe on weekdays. The extensive glass walls bring in plenty of natural light and make the layout easy to navigate.

The building uses river water for cooling and integrated solar panels for energy efficiency. This demonstrates how contemporary academic spaces can operate with environmentally conscious technology.
