Cultural and sports buildings 

Cultural and sports buildings are major attractions in cities and regions. COWI aims to optimize the interaction between architecture and technology when realizing these landmark buildings and structures.

An experience to remember

Recreation is a business area in rapid growth. Increased leisure time and higher prosperity have created an escalating need for investments in modern sports facilities, museums, theatres and cinemas.

Creating a good overall experience is vital and therefore COWI advises on the physical design of the building as well as the organisation and systems which must function in order to ensure the best possible experience for performers, spectators and staff. We place due focus on fire safety and emergency exits, acoustics, lighting and indoor climate, access control and operational surveillance.

Flexible solutions

It often proves feasible to incorporate considerable flexibility in the design of the facility, allowing for example the sports arena to be used also for concerts and exhibitions with matching facilities for press, TV and catering. Our services in ensuring the necessary flexibility encompass the whole project from idea to operation.
