The construction progress of the laboratory building
March 2026
Start of the building’s load-bearing structure
The project has moved from the initial excavation phase to the completion of the foundation and ground slab works. Basement and plinth structures have been established, and the site is now prepared for the structural frame phase.
Tower cranes have been installed, and the assembly of prefabricated concrete elements has begun, marking the transition to the construction of the building’s load-bearing structure.

Excavation for the laboratory building has been completed
The excavation for the basement structure has now been finished, and the contractor, Hoffmann, is currently setting up the concrete formwork on the installed base slab.

Find your way to the world’s largest insect hotel
The gardeners — and many other helping hands — are now opening up for curious visitors who want to see what we believe is the world’s largest insect hotel, located in a business district (we’re almost certain).
The hotel is surrounded by all the roots left behind from the clearing along Agern Allé, ahead of the upcoming laboratory construction project. In addition, a couple of tree trunks have been erected, which will gradually die and become a valuable habitat for woodpeckers. Flower mixes have also been sown to attract insects.

Installation of approx. 1 km amphibian fencing
We have installed nearly one kilometre of amphibian fencing to protect toads and other small animals from the machinery at the construction site. The fence surrounds the upcoming building area and allows animals to crawl out via small soil ramps and move towards the nearby wetlands by the Malus collection. At the same time, it prevents them from returning back into the area.

The upcoming laboratory buildings relocated by 3–4 metres
Our goal is to preserve as many native trees as possible – for the benefit of both nature and future tenants. During a site inspection, it was therefore decided to shift the upcoming laboratory development approximately four metres to protect the surrounding trees.
Alongside the planning of the laboratory project, our sustainability team is working on restoration plans and biodiversity initiatives to create new, valuable natural habitats for plants, insects and wildlife elsewhere in the science park. This includes replanting trees on a 1:1 basis using native species such as oak, beech and ash.
The trees that are removed will continue to support biodiversity by being repurposed as woodpecker habitats and insect hotels.
How the construction affects the surrounding area
- Heavy construction traffic enters via Venlighedsvej/Bøge Allé and exits via Agern Allé and Venlighedsvej.
- The shortcut (Genvej) is closed to cyclists and pedestrians.
- The path from Bøge Allé to Genvej is closed.
- Parking spaces on Genvej are reserved for construction workers.
- Access to the padel courts has changed – please follow the signs.
- Construction of a temporary site compound in parts of the forest parking area.
Are you experiencing disturbances due to the construction?
If the construction work is causing you any inconvenience, you can easily report it through the Dalux Helpdesk.
How we’re minimising disruptions
- A new sidewalk has been built on Agern Allé to ensure pedestrian safety.
- To reduce traffic on Agern Allé, trucks enter the construction site via Bøge Allé and exit via Agern Allé.
- Heavy vehicles wait with engines off on Venlighedsvej until they can enter the site.
- We sweep and vacuum the affected roads frequently to remove spilt soil and gravel.
- Construction workers are prohibited from parking at Agern Allé 24 and in the forest parking area to ease pressure on parking.
- We have created a new footpath from Bøge Allé to Agern Allé 24 and Ricco’s.
