Panum Building, Brutalist office building at University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Description
Panum Building is a brutalist office complex at the University of Copenhagen defined by geometric forms and exposed concrete surfaces. The facility contains lecture halls, two canteens, research laboratories, and specialized medical equipment spread across multiple interconnected structures.
History
Architects Eva and Nils Koppel completed this educational facility in 1986, establishing it as a central hub for Copenhagen's medical research and teaching activities. The building became a landmark for brutalist architecture in Scandinavia during this period.
Culture
The building houses Denmark's largest dental clinic, where students learn while patients receive treatment in the same spaces. This blend of education and healthcare is visible throughout the facility in how rooms are organized and used.
Practical
Located at Blegdamsvej 3B in Copenhagen, the site is accessible by public transportation and clearly marked from the street. As an active university campus, some areas may have restricted access during teaching hours or for security reasons.
Did you know?
The basement level features original murals by artist Poul Gernes that add color to the concrete structure through permanent art installations. These artworks create a striking contrast to the building's otherwise austere brutalist design and often go unnoticed by visitors.
