R6

Anatomy building for the Medical School OWL

The Anatomy Building R6 will in future be located on the new central square south of the Consequence. According to the site concept, the building is a four-storey rectangular cube with an indented main entrance that opens onto the central square. In total, the building houses around 2,800 square metres of main usable space.  

The ground floor and basement contain a lecture hall for around 300 people. The levels above contain practical and seminar rooms as well as the prosecture, preparation and histology departments. About half of the building is divided into public and restricted areas. A technical centre is located on the roof.

Construction started at the end of 2022, and completion is schedueled for the final quarter of 2026.
