Steel, wood and recycled brick make Gladsaxe kindergartens CO2-neutral

Børnehuset Egedammen and Børnehuset Grønnegården are two new kindergartens in Gladsaxe Municipality where sustainability forms part of the children’s world. There is a great deal of focus on the climate footprint inside and outside these two kindergartens. Børnehuset Egedammen is the result of a merger of four existing kindergartens, providing better conditions for teaching, for staff and for achieving financial viability. The outside areas are arranged like unspoiled countryside, where the children and animals can enjoy biodiversity.

Nominated for the prestigious “Årets Arne 2023” award

Børnehuset Egedammen and Børnehuset Grønnegården kindergartens are both Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified and CO²-neutral – built using sustainable steel profiles, wood and recycled brick. The two kindergartens are currently nominated for the prestigious “Årets Arne 2023” award, an award given to projects with a specific focus on sustainability in the form of durable craftsmanship, robust materials and architecture that improve quality of life for users.
