A hub for Science & Collaboration
At the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), the Life Science & Bioengineering B202 is more than just a building—it is a centre for knowledge, discovery, and collaboration. Completed in 2018, it brings together DTU Aqua, DTU Food Institute, and DTU Veterinary Institute, creating an environment where researchers, students, and industry professionals work across disciplines to address global challenges in life sciences and engineering.
Designed to facilitate interaction, B202 provides cutting-edge laboratories, teaching spaces, and social hubs that support both structured and spontaneous collaboration. The flexible research facilities allow scientists to adapt their workspaces to evolving needs, ensuring that innovation is never constrained by infrastructure. The building also serves as a space for education, equipping students with hands-on experience in state-of-the-art settings that prepare them for the future.
Beyond research, B202 fosters a vibrant academic community. Its shared spaces encourage the exchange of ideas, strengthening professional connections and inspiring new partnerships. With a commitment to sustainability and functionality, it stands as a testament to DTU’s role as a global leader in life science and engineering—bridging disciplines, advancing knowledge, and shaping the future.
