A modern learning environments are essential for attracting talented and dedicated students to DTU. This requires a high standard of physical facilities and technical equipment that supports a variety of teaching and work methods. At the same time, DTU creates space for students to engage in academic and social communities on DTU's campuses. Building 208 on the Lyngby Campus is the latest example of DTU’s efforts to develop the learning environments of the future and aligns with the goal of being a world-class elite university.

Building 208 has been completely renovated. In the transformation of the building, we have integrated technical equipment, especially lighting, so it seamlessly blends with the architecture of the Koppel couple. Today, instructors can employ a wide range of teaching methods in the teaching building, Building 208. Between classes, students can use the building for group work and social activities – during the day and in the evening.
