Attractions
Lyngby
Art and architecture play a central role in the campus environment at DTU in Lyngby. To highlight this, DTU has established an art and architecture route and the DTUplus app, which guides visitors around campus and presents a selection of artworks and architectural landmarks.
Both routes are open to everyone during the university’s opening hours.
- The Art Route provides a guided tour of 14 artworks on the DTU Lyngby Campus. A short story about the artwork and the artist accompanies each piece. In some cases, an audio file is included, featuring a university-affiliated person reflecting on the piece and their experience.
- The Architecture Route offers a guided tour through the DTU Lyngby Campus, showcasing a mix of old and new buildings. The guide consists of 11 short audio stories tied to selected buildings on campus.
.
You can download the DTUplus app from iTunes/App Store and Google Play. Developed by DTU students with support from the Corrit Foundation, the app features an interactive map with information about the art and architecture along the routes.
A guided campus tour with a personal guide is also available.

Gardeners
The Science Park in Hørsholm is part of the Arboretum, established in 1936 to support education in forestry and horticultural botany. The park features several rare tree species, and students from the University of Copenhagen continue to use it to observe pruning techniques.
Our gardeners ensure that the green areas remain visually appealing, that access routes are maintained (clearing snow and fallen branches), and that we prioritize biodiversity. Their efforts mean that DTU Science Park does not appear as a ‘manicured’ park but as a natural landscape where nature comes first.
Our focus on biodiversity includes the following:
- Establishing 3,000 m² of wildflower meadows to support insects, butterflies, and the people working in the park.
- Installing birdhouses, insect hotels, and bat trees to encourage local wildlife.
- Replanting native tree species (beech, oak, and ash) on a 1:1 basis whenever a tree is felled.
- Allowing fallen trees, such as those brought down in storms, to remain as part of the natural ecosystem unless they pose an obstruction.
.
The gardeners’ work supports our goal of becoming the first business area in Denmark to achieve DGNB Gold certification.

Snow removal
During winter, our gardeners handle snow removal on roads and parking areas.
We monitor meteorological websites for weather updates. Additionally, G4S (our security company) patrols the area throughout the night and reports any weather changes to the head gardener, who is responsible for calling in the snow removal team and operating the machinery himself when needed.
In addition to DTU Science Park’s team, we have a group of external contractors on standby throughout the winter season.
When is the snow cleared?
If snow falls before 3 AM, main roads and entrances will be cleared by 7 AM.
If snow falls after 3 AM, we prioritize main roads and parking areas closest to main entrances. The completion time depends on when the snowfall occurs.
Snow removal is not carried out on weekends or public holidays.
How do we ensure safe roads and entrances?
We primarily use gravel to combat snow and icy roads, as it is the most environmentally friendly option for green areas and groundwater.
We use magnesium chloride at entrances and stairways, a gentler alternative to regular road salt that effectively melts snow and ice.
In addition, on days when conditions are especially slippery, we place physical warning signs with flashing lights at all entry roads.
Together, we take care of nature and each other during winter
DTU Science Park is responsible for snow clearance in the Science Park. We are located in a scenic area with abundant wildlife and beautiful surroundings that are appreciated daily by many employees. We must take care of this nature while ensuring our customers’ best possible snow preparedness.
We encourage you to be extra cautious when driving during winter, just as you would on roads outside DTU Science Park.
We also recommend wearing appropriate winter footwear and bringing indoor shoes to help ensure a slip-free and environmentally friendly winter for everyone.

Waste disposal
Waste must be disposed of in the designated waste containers. Please follow the sorting instructions for waste.
Important: As of 1 July 2025, residual waste is legally required to be sorted and disposed of in clear, transparent bags or sacks. Failure to comply with this rule will result in significant additional costs. Please make sure to purchase and use clear bags/sacks for residual waste. Also, remember to inform your cleaning staff/company.
Please note that the waste management company does not collect waste placed next to the containers, and the lid of the container must be able to close. More considerable waste must be handled as bulk waste, which is your responsibility.

In the event of a burglary or other police-related issue, recordings can be requested through the following process:
- Contact the police to file a report. A police report is required to release any footage. Hørsholm Police can be reached at +45 49 27 14 48.
- Inform the police that the area is under video surveillance and that they can request footage.
- The police should be instructed to contact DTU Science Park to request video footage from the cameras in the area. Records are automatically deleted after 8 days, so the report and request should be made as soon as possible.
