Excited to share that SIMAC – Svendborg International Maritime Academy – has won the Danish Betonelement Prisen 2023 (Prefab Concrete Award 2023), also known as the Utzon Award.

Chairman of the Jury, Kent Martinussen, Architect and CEO of the Danish Architecture Center, said the following about the project:

"A consistent and architecturally well-thought-out use of prefab concrete, which in one convincing architectural language gathers the load-bearing structure and the spatial structure into a resilient grid of columns and girders. The facade plane is boldly pulled back, so that the concrete grid manifests itself as the dominant element also in the external appearance of the educational institution."

The project is designed by EFFEKT in collaboration with C.F. Møller Architects
