History
The plans for the school were presented by Copenhagen Municipality, Realdania, Novo Nordisk Fonden, Nordea-fonden and Industriens Fond. Welcoming its first students in 2014, the school was initially based out of a temporary location at the South Harbour School.[3]
A competition for the design of the new school was won by BAM Danmark, Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter, Nord Arkitekter and EKJ consulting engineers. The school moved into its new building on 25 October 2018 and it was officially inaugurated on 20 November 2018.[4]
