= History
=The Copenhagen Municipal Hospital was one of the first buildings to be constructed on the glacis outside of the North Rampart when the fortifications were decommissioned. It was the first major project to be designed by Copenhagen's new city architect, Christian Hansen, who had recently returned to Denmark from Greece. Construction began in 1859 and the hospital was inaugurated on 19 September 1863.
Christian Hansen's original hospital building consisted of two three-story main wings joined together by two connectors. In 1954, the complex was expanded by city architect Frederik Christian Lund in a style similar to that of the original buildings. The Copenhagen Municipal Hospital closed on 1 May 1999. The buildings were then taken over by University of Copenhagen.
In 2005, the university established the Center for Health and Society in the former Copenhagen Municipal Hospital. A new building designed by Erik Møller Arkitekter was completed on the corner of Øster Farimagsgade and Gammeltoftsgade in 2013. It contains auditoriums for the University as well as a daycare for children of university faculty.
Copenhagen Botanical Garden
The University of Copenhagen Botanical Garden covers an area of 10 hectares and is particularly noted for its extensive complex of historical glasshouses. The garden is part of the Natural History Museum of Denmark, which is itself part of the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. It serves both research, educational and recreational purposes.
The Botanical Garden had previously been located at Charlottenborg Palace, and was relocated to its new site in 1870.
