I<\/span>t was, if not a palace, then at least a place revolution<\/em>, wrote Mogens M\u00fcller in his sketch on the Faculty of Theology in the 20th century about the move to K\u00f8bmagergade 44\/46, which was further occupied for nearly half of a century<\/secret>.<\/p>\n

It was the year 1971, when the former post warehouse became a place where theological ideas were born and developed. From occupying just a handful of rooms at Studiestr\u00e6de, theologians moved to a building that had separate floors for every department.<\/p>\n

2017 marks another big change for the KU\u2019s theologians. It is the time for Theology to join Law and Humanities at modern facilities of S\u00f8ndre Campus. A shining new building at Amager just began its\u00a0service, as the new semester started on the 6th of February.<\/p>\n

But changes are never easy. How do the students and the faculty remember the old Faculty building? How do they feel about the move? And how does the new building answer their hopes and doubts? University Post went on to answer those questions.<\/p>\n

Shades of soulishness<\/h3>\n

A busy street in the middle of the city. Just a short walk from Frue Plads<\/secret> and a stone\u2019s throw from the Trinitas Kirke. Inconspicuous sign over the archway with the words DET TEOLOGISKE FAKULTET marked the entrance to a very complicated building.<\/p>\n

For a new person it was never easy to find oneself in the complicated maze of stairs and hallways that constituted the old building of KU\u2019s Theology.\u00a0But in the same time it had a certain kind of charm. For many it was much more then just an assembly of offices and classrooms.<\/p>\n

\u00bbThe end of January 2017 will mark my thirteenth month of frequenting the K\u00f8bmagergade Faculty as a daily work space, week in and week out,\u00ab says Samuel Nwokoro, one of the master students.<\/p>\n

\u00bbDuring this period, this four-floored, caved-in block of classrooms and libraries came to signify an arena of intellectualising, friendship, interaction and other shades of soulishness that characterise such learning environments.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u00bbThank you K\u00f8bmagergade 44-46 for being the place of wisdom, mystery and parties through my entire bachelor,\u00ab recalls Linette Floutrup, a Theology\u2019s veteran with nearly five years of studying experience. \u00bbAnd TeoBar, oh, a great thanks to you! I have visited you at the Christmas parties, Halloween parties, the slowly Fridays with only a few people but a good vibe, the 90\u2019s party in 2013 that was probably one of the greatest parties down there, and, most of all, thank you for the wonderful staff that has provided us with beers and drinks, and told us when it was time to go home and sleep.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Separate spaces made just for the Religious Roots of Europe and the Centre for African Studies are\u00a0also warmly remembered by students.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI think the best memories lie in having a room that gathered us to study, meet, relax and feast in. This space that our coordinator asked the board to offer to our group was a truly great idea. It made you feel at home at the faculty,\u00ab says Nashwa Hasani, one of the RRE students.<\/p>\n

And while some also disliked the building itself, they highly praised its surroundings.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI moved to Copenhagen just when RRE started in 2009 and was hired right away. So I only have seven years of experience with K\u00f8bmagergade. I never liked the buildings much, but I always loved the environment in the city. Moving to Amager will reverse that, I’m sure: The environment will be much less charming, but the buildings will be immensely improved. Working with technology and video conferencing the way I do, the constraints of K\u00f8bmagergade are remarkable, so in that sense, the new buildings should be so much better,\u00ab says\u00a0Martin Ehrensv\u00e4rd, an Assistant Professor from the Department of Biblical Exegesis.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the old building had its perks and drawbacks, but it was for sure a memory-maker.<\/p>\n

\u00bbK\u00f8bmagergade may not have been the best of facilities as modern learning environments are concerned, and even though we look forward to Southern Campus, K\u00f8bmagergade will be missed by the many that maneuvered the turns of busy city centre streets to find their way to it. Especially by students for whom learning, writing and grading was its hallmark,\u00ab sums up Samuel Nwokoro.
\n<\/p>\n

Let’s move<\/h3>\n

A quieter neighbourhood, close to the metro station Island Brygge<\/em>. An impressive mixture of concrete and glass may intimidate at first, giving a strong impression of a serious place<\/em>. And finding oneself in the new building seems to be as challenging as at K\u00f8bmagergade, which is only strengthened by strange numbering of rooms like 8B-0-54.<\/p>\n

No wonder some of the students feel uncertain about the move.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI am left only with writing my thesis, and I have adjusted to the old place. Moving for only a few months is not something I am very enthusiastic about. It would be better if they would move in the summer,\u00ab says Despina Baxevani, who just passed her penultimate semester.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI haven’t actually visited the new building yet so can’t say much. But location-wise it’s not as convenient as when the Faculty\u00a0was in the city,\u00ab says\u00a0Alice van den Bosch, \u00bbbut I guess it makes sense in some ways to be near the other humanities libraries and buildings.\u00ab<\/p>\n

However, as soon as one enters the still unnamed Marketplace,<\/em> this feeling lessens. The glazed interiors of classrooms and offices, a designer staircase, and a full scale view on the interior garden promise a vibrant space that will be bursting with life.<\/p>\n

Meticulously prepared desks on the first floor offer a welcoming place to study among colleagues and friends, and old armchairs and sofas bring a touch of coziness from the previous building.<\/p>\n

The Dean, Kirsten Busch Nielsen, does her best to make the new place as friendly as possible. She says she hopes that the new building, by having classrooms next to the offices, might actually bring students and faculty together.<\/p>\n

The new professionally catered caf\u00e9 is planned to be a place of meetings, available to everyone, with a student hub right next to it. Beautiful new shelving will partially house the books from the old library, and will be freely available in the hallways. And an open study place will be supplied with the lockers available for those in need of storage.<\/p>\n

But what probably interests students the most is the future of TeoBar. And there is no need to worry, because the famous Friday Bar will have its rightful place at the new building. A series of housewarming events are planned in February, with the celebration of relocation planned for March. The Social Hub will welcome all students to S\u00f8ndre Campus on the 10th of February at\u00a015.30-17.00. And the official inauguration by three faculties, Humanities, Law and Theology, will be convened later in Spring.<\/p>\n

The move will finish with libraries being relocated in the beginning of February. And with it a certain chapter of KU\u2019s history will close. For those who are yet to visit the new house, the Dean prepared a video<\/a>\u00a0(on the UCPH intranet) with a short tour around facilities. And there is a special page in KUnet devoted to answers to some more pertinent questions.<\/p>\n

As Linette Floutrup concludes\u00b7 \u00bbWe will try to embrace the new place, but when I get old and have to tell the same stories over and over again to some high-tech grandkids, I will tell that I studied Theology in Indre By near Rundet\u00e5rn, and it was a cool place where I got a lot of my wisdom.\u00ab

From occupying just a handful of rooms at Studiestr\u00e6de, theologians moved to a building that had separate floors for every department.<\/p>\n<p>2017 marks another big change for the KU\u2019s theologians. It is the time for Theology to join Law and Humanities at modern facilities of S\u00f8ndre Campus. A shining new building at Amager just began its\u00a0service, as the new semester started on the 6th of February.<\/p>\n<p>But changes are never easy. How do the students and the faculty remember the old Faculty building? How do they feel about the move? And how does the new building answer their hopes and doubts? University Post went on to answer those questions.<\/p>\n<h3>Shades of soulishness<\/h3>\n<p>A busy street in the middle of the city. Just a short walk from <secret url=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1200pxfrue_plads-290x180.jpg\" text=\"Leif J\u00f8rgensen \">Frue Plads<\/secret> and a stone\u2019s throw from the Trinitas Kirke. Inconspicuous sign over the archway with the words DET TEOLOGISKE FAKULTET marked the entrance to a very complicated building.<\/p>\n<p>For a new person it was never easy to find oneself in the complicated maze of stairs and hallways that constituted the old building of KU\u2019s Theology.\u00a0But in the same time it had a certain kind of charm. For many it was much more then just an assembly of offices and classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe end of January 2017 will mark my thirteenth month of frequenting the K\u00f8bmagergade Faculty as a daily work space, week in and week out,\u00ab says Samuel Nwokoro, one of the master students.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbDuring this period, this four-floored, caved-in block of classrooms and libraries came to signify an arena of intellectualising, friendship, interaction and other shades of soulishness that characterise such learning environments.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThank you K\u00f8bmagergade 44-46 for being the place of wisdom, mystery and parties through my entire bachelor,\u00ab recalls Linette Floutrup, a Theology\u2019s veteran with nearly five years of studying experience. \u00bbAnd TeoBar, oh, a great thanks to you! I have visited you at the Christmas parties, Halloween parties, the slowly Fridays with only a few people but a good vibe, the 90\u2019s party in 2013 that was probably one of the greatest parties down there, and, most of all, thank you for the wonderful staff that has provided us with beers and drinks, and told us when it was time to go home and sleep.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>Separate spaces made just for the Religious Roots of Europe and the Centre for African Studies are\u00a0also warmly remembered by students.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI think the best memories lie in having a room that gathered us to study, meet, relax and feast in. This space that our coordinator asked the board to offer to our group was a truly great idea. It made you feel at home at the faculty,\u00ab says Nashwa Hasani, one of the RRE students.<\/p>\n<p>And while some also disliked the building itself, they highly praised its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI moved to Copenhagen just when RRE started in 2009 and was hired right away. So I only have seven years of experience with K\u00f8bmagergade. I never liked the buildings much, but I always loved the environment in the city. Moving to Amager will reverse that, I’m sure: The environment will be much less charming, but the buildings will be immensely improved. Working with technology and video conferencing the way I do, the constraints of K\u00f8bmagergade are remarkable, so in that sense, the new buildings should be so much better,\u00ab says\u00a0Martin Ehrensv\u00e4rd, an Assistant Professor from the Department of Biblical Exegesis.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, the old building had its perks and drawbacks, but it was for sure a memory-maker.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbK\u00f8bmagergade may not have been the best of facilities as modern learning environments are concerned, and even though we look forward to Southern Campus, K\u00f8bmagergade will be missed by the many that maneuvered the turns of busy city centre streets to find their way to it. Especially by students for whom learning, writing and grading was its hallmark,\u00ab sums up Samuel Nwokoro.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Image","image":{"ID":43902,"id":43902,"title":"KUA3","filename":"kua3.jpg","filesize":162546,"url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3.jpg","link":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/farewell-koebmagergade-welcome-soendre-campus\/kua3\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"The new building at S\u00f8ndre Campus.","name":"kua3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":43893,"date":"2017-02-08 09:19:32","modified":"2017-02-08 09:20:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1024,"height":768,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3-480x360.jpg","medium-width":480,"medium-height":360,"medium_large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":768,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3.jpg","2048x2048-width":1024,"2048x2048-height":768,"featured-soft":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3-290x218.jpg","featured-soft-width":290,"featured-soft-height":218,"featured-hard":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3-290x180.jpg","featured-hard-width":290,"featured-hard-height":180,"narrow":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3-700x525.jpg","narrow-width":700,"narrow-height":525,"extended":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/kua3-990x743.jpg","extended-width":990,"extended-height":743}},"style":"narrow","text_placement":"metadata-below","image_link_url":"","image_link_title":"","caption_prefix":"","enable_alternative_caption":false,"alternative_caption":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"Content","content":"<h3>Let’s move<\/h3>\n<p>A quieter neighbourhood, close to the metro station <em>Island Brygge<\/em>. An impressive mixture of concrete and glass may intimidate at first, giving a strong impression of a <em>serious place<\/em>. And finding oneself in the new building seems to be as challenging as at K\u00f8bmagergade, which is only strengthened by strange numbering of rooms like 8B-0-54.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder some of the students feel uncertain about the move.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI am left only with writing my thesis, and I have adjusted to the old place. Moving for only a few months is not something I am very enthusiastic about. It would be better if they would move in the summer,\u00ab says Despina Baxevani, who just passed her penultimate semester.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI haven’t actually visited the new building yet so can’t say much. But location-wise it’s not as convenient as when the Faculty\u00a0was in the city,\u00ab says\u00a0Alice van den Bosch, \u00bbbut I guess it makes sense in some ways to be near the other humanities libraries and buildings.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>However, as soon as one enters the still unnamed <em>Marketplace,<\/em> this feeling lessens. The glazed interiors of classrooms and offices, a designer staircase, and a full scale view on the interior garden promise a vibrant space that will be bursting with life.<\/p>\n<p>Meticulously prepared desks on the first floor offer a welcoming place to study among colleagues and friends, and old armchairs and sofas bring a touch of coziness from the previous building.<\/p>\n<p>The Dean, Kirsten Busch Nielsen, does her best to make the new place as friendly as possible. She says she hopes that the new building, by having classrooms next to the offices, might actually bring students and faculty together.<\/p>\n<p>The new professionally catered caf\u00e9 is planned to be a place of meetings, available to everyone, with a student hub right next to it. Beautiful new shelving will partially house the books from the old library, and will be freely available in the hallways. And an open study place will be supplied with the lockers available for those in need of storage.<\/p>\n<p>But what probably interests students the most is the future of TeoBar. And there is no need to worry, because the famous Friday Bar will have its rightful place at the new building. A series of housewarming events are planned in February, with the celebration of relocation planned for March. The Social Hub will welcome all students to S\u00f8ndre Campus on the 10th of February at\u00a015.30-17.00. And the official inauguration by three faculties, Humanities, Law and Theology, will be convened later in Spring.<\/p>\n<p>The move will finish with libraries being relocated in the beginning of February. And with it a certain chapter of KU\u2019s history will close. For those who are yet to visit the new house, the Dean prepared a <a href=\"https:\/\/intranet.ku.dk\/religious_roots_ma\/news\/Pages\/video_welcome_to_south_campus.aspx\">video<\/a>\u00a0(on the UCPH intranet) with a short tour around facilities. And there is a special page in KUnet devoted to answers to some more pertinent questions.<\/p>\n<p>As Linette Floutrup concludes\u00b7 \u00bbWe will try to embrace the new place, but when I get old and have to tell the same stories over and over again to some high-tech grandkids, I will tell that I studied Theology in Indre By near Rundet\u00e5rn, and it was a cool place where I got a lot of my wisdom.\u00ab<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Banner","img":false,"url":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}],"expression":{"term_id":18,"name":"Feature Article","slug":"feature_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":1200,"filter":"raw"},"enable_comments":true,"align_content":"alignleft","feature_color":""},"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":[{"term_id":223,"name":"Buildings","slug":"buildings","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":223,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":222,"name":"Theology","slug":"theology","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":222,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":8,"filter":"raw"}],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":18,"name":"Feature Article","slug":"feature_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":1200,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/teologi_carstenseidel-1280x1794.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43893","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\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43893"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43893\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44136,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43893\/revisions\/44136"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
