New Sustainable Town Hall to Become Høje-Taastrup C’s New Landmark

The future town hall, which is part of a major urban development project, stands as a tower and visible landmark at the center of the green main concourse in Høje-Taastrup C’s coming urban park between City2 and the coming new town.

The building will be made as a pillar-beam construction involving a lot of in-situ concrete work for walls and precast concrete floor units. The town hall will have eight floors and a roof terrace. The council hall will be located on the ground floor together with citizen-centric functions. A large stairway moves from the central atrium to the first floor with the meeting center and the next six floors, which feature flexibly laid-out work areas. The 8th floor has a canteen, meeting and training rooms as well as an observation lounge. From here, there is access to a public roof landscape with a roof terrace, sun deck and places where people can meet. The building will be surrounded by activity stairways that invite people to play and engage in recreational activities.

Høje-Taastrup Municipality is part of a pioneering project where the foundation for its new town hall will be made of recycled concrete. The concrete is cast from CE-marked materials subject to accredited, certified production control. The concrete has thus undergone a rigorous test program and has been quality assured. The town hall will become the first major public building in Denmark that uses recycled concrete.

The town hall will be DGNB Gold certified.
