Eight buildings, one playful campus in the middle of Billund
C.F. Møller designed LEGO Campus as eight building parts merged into one continuous work-and-play space around a large atrium, set in a park that is open to the public. Brightly coloured stairways mark the small squares where the buildings overlap, two giant LEGO bricks on the roof hold meeting spaces, and the roofs carry a greenhouse and a mini-golf course. On the ground floor, the People House has a sports arena, a gym, a cinema, a music room, a maker space and rooms for visiting colleagues.
