How do they make their voices heard. It is always tough with these kinds of processes that stretch out over long years. Now everything is completed, and many of those who have been part of that are no longer students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That is the sentiment from Lars \u00d8stergaard. He is an architect and will help the Faculty of Theology to adapt to KUA 3, which is the last remaining field to move into the Southern Campus on Amager in Copenhagen. Theology, Law and the Royal School of Library and Information Science (IVA) will move in over the new year. The move was born of a political decision made at the end of the 1990s, while the first sketches for KUA 3 were drawn in 2010. <\/p>\n<p>Uniavisen has called \u00d8stergaard to ask him about the biggest challenges of the move. One of them has been the volatile nature of the students. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the biggest challenge is probably the one that everyone is afraid of: how do you move people?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A five-kilometre cycle ride later, Uniavisen has come a little closer to answering the question. An answer which involves chipped mugs, dark-blue fabric, bookshelves, antlers and a Friday bar with flexible opening hours. <\/p>\n<p><em>Article continues under the image.<\/em> <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/10_27.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>MAIN STREET &#8211; A colourful passage connects the faculties.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The professors\u2019 attitude is contagious <\/h2>\n<p>The first stop is Bispetorv, which has housed the Faculty of Law over the past 500 years. It boasts gold stucco, chandeliers and a meeting room with a view of the Copenhagen Round Tower. The law students were loud critics of the decision to move them from the Latin Quarter, and in 2011, 22 professors wrote a protest letter against the moving plan. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very divided here in Law. There are those who have \u201cgrown up\u201d here in the city \u2013 all of their memories about study are connected to the place \u2013 but there is also something about being located in the middle of the city, a pulsating city with easy access to everything. Some will miss that,\u201d says law student Rebecca Ingeman, settling into a chequered Wegner chair in the basement under the Bispe annex. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/02_9.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>THE SCIENCE CENTRE &#8211; The hub for Law with a wide stairway you can sit on<\/em><br \/>\n\u201cAnd when the professors sigh and say \u201cOh, now we have to move soon,\u201d it naturally affects the students. But most are pleased. There are very few, who believe that the study environment here is better than what we will end up with it. They can see from our feedback on the study environment \u2013 it is glaringly bad.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The law faculty\u2019s bad score in the university\u2019s feedback survey is particularly attributed to dissatisfaction with the d\u00e9cor, indoor climate and few opportunities to meet other students and professors beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n<h2>Worship and caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>Faculty management has been highly receptive to ideas to improve the study environment, say Ingeman and her fellow student Adan Kham, who spoke with Uniavisen a few days ago. Kham is on the reference committee, an umbrella group of the relocation committee. <\/p>\n<p>Kham has led an effort to set up a worship room at KUA3, a room with space for meditation, contemplation and silence. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it has been very important to create a good study environment with tables, chairs and power outlets for everyone. But we also need some good foundations for the community. I hope that an addition like a worship room and a student-operated caf\u00e9 will help to create a community with space for all.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/04_11.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>CAF\u00c9 KULPA &#8211; The student-run caf\u00e9 of Law is to be on the 1st floor in the new KUA3.<\/em><br \/>\nThe proposal for a student-operated caf\u00e9 emerged in Spring 2016. The Faculty of Law has not had one before. None of the student associations had the courage to operate a caf\u00e9 for 5,000 students, but over a Christmas party and with a few beers on the table, the faculty\u2019s student council decided to take up the task.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that the caf\u00e9 will give a sense of community. It will be a place where people can meet and discuss how studies were difficult that particular day, without needing to set up a meeting to talk about it. I also hope that researchers will stray down there,\u201d says Ingeman, who will help to run the caf\u00e9.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-external-teaser dme-external-teaser-3\">\n<div class=\"image\">\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/35964\" title=\"\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/arkitema_mobile_moebler.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"title\">\n<div class=\"label\">L\u00e6s mere:<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/35964\">5 tips for a good study environment from the architect behind KUA 3<\/a>  <\/div>\n<div class=\"teaser_text\">\n          <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>At the moment, the caf\u00e9\u2019s interior design team is buying up coffee cups and tea mugs from second-hand shops, so the new caf\u00e9 will boast a kind of \u201cFriends\u201d vibe, with cups in different colours and shapes. Meanwhile, the budget and procurement team is on the hunt for coffee bean deals. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe faculty has given us 15,000 kroner is start-up capital which we can use as we like. They will also buy coffee machines, an electric kettle and a washing machine. Whenever we have asked for something, they have simply said \u2018fine, we\u2019ll arrange it,\u2019\u201d says Ingeman. <\/p>\n<h2>Vice-decan: It\u2019s important to have a history<\/h2>\n<p>Back on the bike for a quick ride to Studieg\u00e5rden, where the Faculty of Law\u2019s staff are housed. <\/p>\n<p>The faculty\u2019s management office is found behind a heavy door flanked by two large stone owls. A few years ago, the door was closed to students. While this is not the case today, very few students find their way to the researchers\u2019 chambers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really hope to cross paths more. The students are also welcome today, but we live very parallel lives. We hope for a stronger cohesion at KUA3,\u201d says the vice-decan for education, Stine J\u00f8rgensen, who has invited Uniavisen for coffee with the relocation project leader, Thomas Haaning Christiansen. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/03_8.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>The future canteen of Law.<\/em><br \/>\nWe meet at the project manager\u2019s office under a bulletin board plastered with drawings and material samples in shades of dark blue and dark green.<br \/>\nJ\u00f8rgensen glances at the material samples. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a little classic\u2026something we identify ourselves with.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Although the vice-decan agrees with the students that there is a lot to improve upon \u2013 and will be improved upon &#8211; in the new environment, she says there are also some things which are worth holding on to. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to have the story come with you. We have launched an \u201cidentity\u201d group who will develop suggestions for what we can take with us to preserve our fundamental features,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe stone owls are really part of our identity, and we have tried to take them with us, but it cannot be done because it emerged that Studieg\u00e5rden is preserved and we can\u2019t move them. But we\u2019ll see whether take them with us, one way or another\u201d says Haaning Christiansen, smiling a bit mysteriously. <\/p>\n<h2>The bars close earlier<\/h2>\n<p>The trip from Studieg\u00e5rden to K\u00f8bmagergade is better managed by foot than by bicycle, prompting Uniavisen\u2019s reporter to think of something that the law student Rebecca Ingemann had said earlier in that day: \u201cI am looking forward to becoming part of a larger educational space, a space which allows you to delve in, and where your thoughts aren\u2019t constantly interrupted by tourists on segways.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A few tourist buses later, we get closer to the Theology Faculty. In a building situated in a courtyard off K\u00f8bermagergade, Theology is housed in four stories, plus a basement highly cherished by the students. The move to KUA 3 will eliminate a quarter of the square metres currently enjoyed by Theology. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/08_9.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>THE ROOFTOP TERRACE &#8211; With a view over the Amager F\u00e6lled park.<\/em><br \/>\nThat means less space for books and a bar, and this concerns Lucas Antonio Madsen, chairman of the faculty\u2019s council. He recommended meeting in the building\u2019s central room, but we can\u2019t get in through the main door because the handle has fallen off. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go down and tell Torben,\u201d says Madsen, and we turn around a bend to go past the office of faculty director Torben Rytter Kristensen.<\/p>\n<p>The director explains that the Faculty of Theology has faced a huge challenge in preserving the good study environment enjoyed by the faculty today. Therefore, the faculty has emphasised adaptation, so that the distance between professors\u2019 offices and lecture halls are not so far, and so that there is space for student associations and parties. <\/p>\n<p>Madsen notes that management has gone to great lengths to accommodate the wishes of the students. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe currently have a basement to ourselves where we can party the whole night. Now, we will have to close earlier out of consideration of the fact that the professors need peace so they can work in the afternoon. But we have been granted permission to continue opening the bar quite early, under the condition that we don\u2019t make too much noise. We will also have 24 \/ 7 access to the faculty, so we can go to the library and study whenever we want,\u201d says Madsen. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/07_7.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>TEOBAR &#8211; The theologians&#8217; bar will be the canteen&#8217;s neighbor.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Books or Art<\/h2>\n<p>The books are another issue of note for the faculty. Today, Theology\u2019s libraries are split across three levels. At KUA 3, the books will have to be placed in a smaller faculty, in the basement and along the extra-wide corridors adjacent to the professors\u2019 offices, which are designed with space for bookshelves. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to get rid of some books, which is something we\u2019re not particularly happy about, but we are in the process of finding a solution so that they will not be discarded, at least. They will be sold or given away,\u201d says Madsen. <\/p>\n<p>He explains that the book collection was one of the few points on which the council was forced to battle with the dean. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dean focused a lot on relocating the art, but the space taken up by the art is space that could otherwise be used for books. Books are a big part of our identity.\u201d  <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/05_9.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>SITTING COMPORTMENT &#8211; Built-in sofas along the corridor.<\/em><br \/>\nFor Madsen, the books are a more important part of the Faculty of Theology\u2019s identity than the inner-city surroundings. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course we have been located here for a long time, and there is some identity tied up with that, but for me, moving does not spark a huge identity crisis. It is just something you have to accept. It is good to remember the history, but it is more important to focus on building a new identity up at KUA3.\u201d <\/p>\n<h2>Two bad pizzerias and Urbanplanen<\/h2>\n<p>The last stage of the bike trip begins in the pouring rain, but the pedals must go faster. We have to get to the border of Amager and Amager \u00d8st. The Royal School of Library and Information Science (IVA) is housed in a red brick building, a shoe factory taken over by the school in the 1960s. Since then, the library school has become IVA, and IVA has come under UCPH\u2019s wings. <\/p>\n<p>It is three o\u2019clock and the first beer has been ordered in the Friday bar, Den Gale Hjort. Second-year student Maria Sofie Jensen orders an organic Royal Classic while Tue Scheel Nielsen, a Masters student, pulls together a few chairs around a table in front of the antlers decorating the bar\u2019s back wall. Jensen explains that her studies have been characterized by a temporariness, which has permeated the mood:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have known the whole time that we would have to move, so perhaps we are not so connected to the place. We are looking forward to the new, nice buildings. Here, it is cosy, but old. Retro, but not in such a good way. <\/p>\n<p>Scheel Nielsen continues: \u201cDuring exam periods, study spaces can be completely empty at four in the afternoon. Here, it is so dead and there are no facilities. The cafeteria opens late and closes early.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/01_8.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>THE MAD DEER &#8211; IVA&#8217;s Friday Bar and its antlers will move to KUA3.<\/em><br \/>\nThey have so much space at IVA that the adult education institution and a publisher have moved in. And even with the new roommates, Jensen still feels there are \u201cghost corridors.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere, it is boring and grey and Amager. We have two bad pizzerias and the urban plan,\u201d says Peder Helms from third semester, settling down with a beer. At least you can always find a place for group work, you can just go over to an empty space on the other side of the corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>IVA will party with new neighbours<\/h2>\n<p>On December 9, the towering antler heads will be peeled from the wall and the current Friday bar torn down. Resurrecting Den Gale Hjort is high on the agenda, as the caf\u00e9 represents everything for the community &#8211; something Scheel Nielsen, Jensen and Helms can all agree on. <\/p>\n<p>It is a community where museum curators play board games and football with hardcore IT types and where students are on a first-name basis with the employees and management. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe it will become difficult to preserve the near-future. Despite the ghost corridors, there is a real closeness, a community,\u201d says Jensen. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/09_6.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>TEO&#8217;S AUDITORIUM &#8211; With plenty of power sockets.<\/em><br \/>\nThe students were quite worried when a permanent caf\u00e9 ended up the victim of a space-saving effort. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a proposal for a roll-in bar on wheels. Fortunately, there has been increased focus on in-campus facilities and it has been easier to push the point that the caf\u00e9 should have its own space,\u201d says Scheel Nielsen.  <\/p>\n<p>Scheel Nielsen, Jensen and Helms hope that they can both protect the sense of closeness and achieve a campus vibe \u2013 \u201cthe feeling of being part of something bigger,\u201d as Scheel Nielsen phrases it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dream scenario is that we could incorporate Law and Theology into our community,\u201d says Helms, while Jensen explains that a committee has been launched called Samarbejde p\u00e5 Tv\u00e6rs (cross-study collaboration), which the students hope to become part of. The committee will arrange shared parties and other activities across the shared area. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must convince the others that it is not the end of the world to move to Amager,\u201d says Jensen. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><picture><img src=\"\/old_files\/06_7.jpg\" class=\"\"  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><em>Yard garden<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RELOCATION \u2013 Books, art and coffee machines are all packed up into moving boxes.

How do they make their voices heard. It is always tough with these kinds of processes that stretch out over long years. Now everything is completed, and many of those who have been part of that are no longer students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That is the sentiment from Lars \u00d8stergaard. He is an architect and will help the Faculty of Theology to adapt to KUA 3, which is the last remaining field to move into the Southern Campus on Amager in Copenhagen. Theology, Law and the Royal School of Library and Information Science (IVA) will move in over the new year. The move was born of a political decision made at the end of the 1990s, while the first sketches for KUA 3 were drawn in 2010. <\/p>\n<p>Uniavisen has called \u00d8stergaard to ask him about the biggest challenges of the move. One of them has been the volatile nature of the students. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the biggest challenge is probably the one that everyone is afraid of: how do you move people?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A five-kilometre cycle ride later, Uniavisen has come a little closer to answering the question. An answer which involves chipped mugs, dark-blue fabric, bookshelves, antlers and a Friday bar with flexible opening hours. <\/p>\n<p><em>Article continues under the image.<\/em> <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/10_27.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>MAIN STREET &#8211; A colourful passage connects the faculties.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The professors\u2019 attitude is contagious <\/h2>\n<p>The first stop is Bispetorv, which has housed the Faculty of Law over the past 500 years. It boasts gold stucco, chandeliers and a meeting room with a view of the Copenhagen Round Tower. The law students were loud critics of the decision to move them from the Latin Quarter, and in 2011, 22 professors wrote a protest letter against the moving plan. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very divided here in Law. There are those who have \u201cgrown up\u201d here in the city \u2013 all of their memories about study are connected to the place \u2013 but there is also something about being located in the middle of the city, a pulsating city with easy access to everything. Some will miss that,\u201d says law student Rebecca Ingeman, settling into a chequered Wegner chair in the basement under the Bispe annex. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/02_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>THE SCIENCE CENTRE &#8211; The hub for Law with a wide stairway you can sit on<\/em><br \/>\n\u201cAnd when the professors sigh and say \u201cOh, now we have to move soon,\u201d it naturally affects the students. But most are pleased. There are very few, who believe that the study environment here is better than what we will end up with it. They can see from our feedback on the study environment \u2013 it is glaringly bad.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The law faculty\u2019s bad score in the university\u2019s feedback survey is particularly attributed to dissatisfaction with the d\u00e9cor, indoor climate and few opportunities to meet other students and professors beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n<h2>Worship and caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>Faculty management has been highly receptive to ideas to improve the study environment, say Ingeman and her fellow student Adan Kham, who spoke with Uniavisen a few days ago. Kham is on the reference committee, an umbrella group of the relocation committee. <\/p>\n<p>Kham has led an effort to set up a worship room at KUA3, a room with space for meditation, contemplation and silence. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it has been very important to create a good study environment with tables, chairs and power outlets for everyone. But we also need some good foundations for the community. I hope that an addition like a worship room and a student-operated caf\u00e9 will help to create a community with space for all.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/04_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>CAF\u00c9 KULPA &#8211; The student-run caf\u00e9 of Law is to be on the 1st floor in the new KUA3.<\/em><br \/>\nThe proposal for a student-operated caf\u00e9 emerged in Spring 2016. The Faculty of Law has not had one before. None of the student associations had the courage to operate a caf\u00e9 for 5,000 students, but over a Christmas party and with a few beers on the table, the faculty\u2019s student council decided to take up the task.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that the caf\u00e9 will give a sense of community. It will be a place where people can meet and discuss how studies were difficult that particular day, without needing to set up a meeting to talk about it. I also hope that researchers will stray down there,\u201d says Ingeman, who will help to run the caf\u00e9.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-external-teaser dme-external-teaser-3\">\n<div class=\"image\">\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/35964\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/arkitema_mobile_moebler.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"title\">\n<div class=\"label\">L\u00e6s mere:<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/35964\">5 tips for a good study environment from the architect behind KUA 3<\/a>  <\/div>\n<div class=\"teaser_text\">\n          <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>At the moment, the caf\u00e9\u2019s interior design team is buying up coffee cups and tea mugs from second-hand shops, so the new caf\u00e9 will boast a kind of \u201cFriends\u201d vibe, with cups in different colours and shapes. Meanwhile, the budget and procurement team is on the hunt for coffee bean deals. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe faculty has given us 15,000 kroner is start-up capital which we can use as we like. They will also buy coffee machines, an electric kettle and a washing machine. Whenever we have asked for something, they have simply said \u2018fine, we\u2019ll arrange it,\u2019\u201d says Ingeman. <\/p>\n<h2>Vice-decan: It\u2019s important to have a history<\/h2>\n<p>Back on the bike for a quick ride to Studieg\u00e5rden, where the Faculty of Law\u2019s staff are housed. <\/p>\n<p>The faculty\u2019s management office is found behind a heavy door flanked by two large stone owls. A few years ago, the door was closed to students. While this is not the case today, very few students find their way to the researchers\u2019 chambers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really hope to cross paths more. The students are also welcome today, but we live very parallel lives. We hope for a stronger cohesion at KUA3,\u201d says the vice-decan for education, Stine J\u00f8rgensen, who has invited Uniavisen for coffee with the relocation project leader, Thomas Haaning Christiansen. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/03_8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>The future canteen of Law.<\/em><br \/>\nWe meet at the project manager\u2019s office under a bulletin board plastered with drawings and material samples in shades of dark blue and dark green.<br \/>\nJ\u00f8rgensen glances at the material samples. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a little classic\u2026something we identify ourselves with.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Although the vice-decan agrees with the students that there is a lot to improve upon \u2013 and will be improved upon &#8211; in the new environment, she says there are also some things which are worth holding on to. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to have the story come with you. We have launched an \u201cidentity\u201d group who will develop suggestions for what we can take with us to preserve our fundamental features,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe stone owls are really part of our identity, and we have tried to take them with us, but it cannot be done because it emerged that Studieg\u00e5rden is preserved and we can\u2019t move them. But we\u2019ll see whether take them with us, one way or another\u201d says Haaning Christiansen, smiling a bit mysteriously. <\/p>\n<h2>The bars close earlier<\/h2>\n<p>The trip from Studieg\u00e5rden to K\u00f8bmagergade is better managed by foot than by bicycle, prompting Uniavisen\u2019s reporter to think of something that the law student Rebecca Ingemann had said earlier in that day: \u201cI am looking forward to becoming part of a larger educational space, a space which allows you to delve in, and where your thoughts aren\u2019t constantly interrupted by tourists on segways.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A few tourist buses later, we get closer to the Theology Faculty. In a building situated in a courtyard off K\u00f8bermagergade, Theology is housed in four stories, plus a basement highly cherished by the students. The move to KUA 3 will eliminate a quarter of the square metres currently enjoyed by Theology. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/08_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>THE ROOFTOP TERRACE &#8211; With a view over the Amager F\u00e6lled park.<\/em><br \/>\nThat means less space for books and a bar, and this concerns Lucas Antonio Madsen, chairman of the faculty\u2019s council. He recommended meeting in the building\u2019s central room, but we can\u2019t get in through the main door because the handle has fallen off. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go down and tell Torben,\u201d says Madsen, and we turn around a bend to go past the office of faculty director Torben Rytter Kristensen.<\/p>\n<p>The director explains that the Faculty of Theology has faced a huge challenge in preserving the good study environment enjoyed by the faculty today. Therefore, the faculty has emphasised adaptation, so that the distance between professors\u2019 offices and lecture halls are not so far, and so that there is space for student associations and parties. <\/p>\n<p>Madsen notes that management has gone to great lengths to accommodate the wishes of the students. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe currently have a basement to ourselves where we can party the whole night. Now, we will have to close earlier out of consideration of the fact that the professors need peace so they can work in the afternoon. But we have been granted permission to continue opening the bar quite early, under the condition that we don\u2019t make too much noise. We will also have 24 \/ 7 access to the faculty, so we can go to the library and study whenever we want,\u201d says Madsen. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/07_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>TEOBAR &#8211; The theologians&#8217; bar will be the canteen&#8217;s neighbor.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Books or Art<\/h2>\n<p>The books are another issue of note for the faculty. Today, Theology\u2019s libraries are split across three levels. At KUA 3, the books will have to be placed in a smaller faculty, in the basement and along the extra-wide corridors adjacent to the professors\u2019 offices, which are designed with space for bookshelves. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to get rid of some books, which is something we\u2019re not particularly happy about, but we are in the process of finding a solution so that they will not be discarded, at least. They will be sold or given away,\u201d says Madsen. <\/p>\n<p>He explains that the book collection was one of the few points on which the council was forced to battle with the dean. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dean focused a lot on relocating the art, but the space taken up by the art is space that could otherwise be used for books. Books are a big part of our identity.\u201d  <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/05_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>SITTING COMPORTMENT &#8211; Built-in sofas along the corridor.<\/em><br \/>\nFor Madsen, the books are a more important part of the Faculty of Theology\u2019s identity than the inner-city surroundings. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course we have been located here for a long time, and there is some identity tied up with that, but for me, moving does not spark a huge identity crisis. It is just something you have to accept. It is good to remember the history, but it is more important to focus on building a new identity up at KUA3.\u201d <\/p>\n<h2>Two bad pizzerias and Urbanplanen<\/h2>\n<p>The last stage of the bike trip begins in the pouring rain, but the pedals must go faster. We have to get to the border of Amager and Amager \u00d8st. The Royal School of Library and Information Science (IVA) is housed in a red brick building, a shoe factory taken over by the school in the 1960s. Since then, the library school has become IVA, and IVA has come under UCPH\u2019s wings. <\/p>\n<p>It is three o\u2019clock and the first beer has been ordered in the Friday bar, Den Gale Hjort. Second-year student Maria Sofie Jensen orders an organic Royal Classic while Tue Scheel Nielsen, a Masters student, pulls together a few chairs around a table in front of the antlers decorating the bar\u2019s back wall. Jensen explains that her studies have been characterized by a temporariness, which has permeated the mood:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have known the whole time that we would have to move, so perhaps we are not so connected to the place. We are looking forward to the new, nice buildings. Here, it is cosy, but old. Retro, but not in such a good way. <\/p>\n<p>Scheel Nielsen continues: \u201cDuring exam periods, study spaces can be completely empty at four in the afternoon. Here, it is so dead and there are no facilities. The cafeteria opens late and closes early.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/01_8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>THE MAD DEER &#8211; IVA&#8217;s Friday Bar and its antlers will move to KUA3.<\/em><br \/>\nThey have so much space at IVA that the adult education institution and a publisher have moved in. And even with the new roommates, Jensen still feels there are \u201cghost corridors.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere, it is boring and grey and Amager. We have two bad pizzerias and the urban plan,\u201d says Peder Helms from third semester, settling down with a beer. At least you can always find a place for group work, you can just go over to an empty space on the other side of the corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>IVA will party with new neighbours<\/h2>\n<p>On December 9, the towering antler heads will be peeled from the wall and the current Friday bar torn down. Resurrecting Den Gale Hjort is high on the agenda, as the caf\u00e9 represents everything for the community &#8211; something Scheel Nielsen, Jensen and Helms can all agree on. <\/p>\n<p>It is a community where museum curators play board games and football with hardcore IT types and where students are on a first-name basis with the employees and management. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe it will become difficult to preserve the near-future. Despite the ghost corridors, there is a real closeness, a community,\u201d says Jensen. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/09_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>TEO&#8217;S AUDITORIUM &#8211; With plenty of power sockets.<\/em><br \/>\nThe students were quite worried when a permanent caf\u00e9 ended up the victim of a space-saving effort. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a proposal for a roll-in bar on wheels. Fortunately, there has been increased focus on in-campus facilities and it has been easier to push the point that the caf\u00e9 should have its own space,\u201d says Scheel Nielsen.  <\/p>\n<p>Scheel Nielsen, Jensen and Helms hope that they can both protect the sense of closeness and achieve a campus vibe \u2013 \u201cthe feeling of being part of something bigger,\u201d as Scheel Nielsen phrases it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dream scenario is that we could incorporate Law and Theology into our community,\u201d says Helms, while Jensen explains that a committee has been launched called Samarbejde p\u00e5 Tv\u00e6rs (cross-study collaboration), which the students hope to become part of. The committee will arrange shared parties and other activities across the shared area. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must convince the others that it is not the end of the world to move to Amager,\u201d says Jensen. <\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/old_files\/06_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Yard garden<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":44,"name":"Campus","slug":"campus","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":44,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1547,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11492,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/kua-3-foto-dragoer-luftfoto.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2266"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30793,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2266\/revisions\/30793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
