DSB train workshop in Copenhagen
Danmark

DSB is constructing several train maintenance facilities for electric trains, and Gottlieb Paludan Architects is serving as architectural consultant through all project phases for the facility at Godsbanen, close to Copenhagen Central Station.

The building program includes two buildings - a main workshop with storage facilities, technical installations, smaller component workshops for specialized work, an administration wing, a canteen and changing rooms for the employees, and a separate wheel turning building east of the main workshop. Both buildings share functionality as a guiding design principle.

Areas of Expertise
The buildings are adapted to a relatively compact site and have been designed with a focus on efficient internal logistics and traffic flow. A landscape design has also been developed to ensure a harmonious integration with the surrounding environment and to support the overall coherence of the area. The total building area is approximately 11,000 m², and the facility was handed over to DSB in April 2023. The project has been developed with the aim of achieving certification under the DGNB sustainability standard at Gold level. This includes, among other aspects, the use of sustainable materials, life cycle assessment, and a strong focus on providing good working conditions for staff involved in daily operations.
