Cobe wins competition to transform ZBC - Zealand Business College in Roskilde, Denmark
Cobe, in collaboration with Wissenberg, has won the competition to transform ZBC - Zealand Business College in Roskilde, Denmark. Our winning project transforms the former cutting halls of a 1960s slaughterhouse into a technical and vocational school. The transformation is grounded in a careful mapping of the existing architecture - from white tiles and blue concrete beams to glass bricks and various inherent industrial details - forming the foundation for the transformation, while opening up the previously worn-down, enclosed, and underutilized building. Once complete, the transformed halls will become the new gathering point - and the new face - of the ZBC campus. The project will include a new main entrance, urban spaces, flexible specialized classrooms, and an open communal area in the old cutting halls.
The project is made possible by a donation from the A.P. Møller Foundation, and is expected to be completed in 2029.
