Use of outdoor areas

At DTU, we have a lot of green outdoor areas for the benefit and enjoyment of us all.

DTU’s outdoor areas are not only for practical use, but also improves the quality of everyday life at DTU. We all have a responsibility to take good care of these areas, so if you see things that need to be repaired, please report it.

This could, for example, be a large branch that has broken off and needs to be removed, or maybe even a fallen tree that has to be cleared. We would also like to hear about branches on trees that pose a hazard to people, traffic, or buildings.

Use of outdoor areas for social purposes on Lyngby Campus

All DTU students and employees are welcome to use DTU’s outdoor areas for social purposes such as meetings, gatherings, and events. If you need help with, for example, blocking off traffic or setting up waste containers, you must order this from Campus Service Parks and Roads as a service task.
