Arts in the University City
The southern part of the University City will become home to Arts’ new shared facilities – right in the heart of Aarhus, close to city life. Here, Arts will bring together many disciplines in inspiring surroundings, with modern classrooms, a vibrant study environment and outdoor spaces that encourage both focus and community.
The University City will be a place where students and staff meet, and where ideas, people and knowledge come together across disciplines. A place with a welcoming atmosphere, where collaboration with colleagues and the wider world is a natural part of everyday life.
The southern part of the University City will provide the framework for a developing Arts – with strong communities, openness and ambition. The process is already underway, with user groups from across Arts helping to refine the vision and develop strong solutions. On this page, you can follow the work and gain insight into future life in the University City.
