ALECTIA is on the winning team of the prestigious competition for the construction of Navitas Park on the new waterfront in Aarhus. The 35,000 m2 large building will accommodate the Engineering College, the School of Marine and Technical Engineering, and INCUBA Science Park, and will be the largest low-energy building in Denmark.

From 2014 more than 2,000 students, teachers and businessmen will be regular visitors to NavitasPark on the new waterfront in Aarhus. The building will house the EngineeringCollege, the School of Marine and Technical Engineering, and INCUBASciencePark, and be the framework for education, development, and trade with focus on energy.

Navitas Park will be the largest low-energy building project in Denmark. The municipality of Aarhus is one of the building owners with a public car park with 450 parking spaces.

The building will be erected in parallel with another, key building project on the Aarhus waterfront, i.e. the future Media House and the new urban harbour space, which will be ready by 2014. ALECTIA is also supplying consulting engineering services to this project.
