"The new SIMAC (Svendborg International Maritime Academy) is a beacon for future educational institutions and is Denmark's largest maritime education institution."
"With its flexible framework and utilisation of the harbour, it becomes both a symbol for modern education and the transformation from a completely industrial area to a new living district with education, business and recreational areas.
In the centre of the building is an atrium that connects the building both visually and logistically across floors. Around the atrium, there are four double-height spaces that mark both the interior and exterior of the façade towards the city and the harbour and contain central functions such as a canteen, auditoria and special workshops."
