Sustainable Innovation Hubs

The challenge is enormous

The LEGO Group has initiated the construction of a new 50,000-square-meter Innovation Campus at its global headquarters in Billund, Denmark. This campus is designed to foster creativity and sustainability in product design and development. The facility will house 1,700 employees, including over 600 designers, in a collaborative space focused on product development, digital experiences, and marketing. The campus is constructed from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified timber and aims to meet LEED Platinum standards, enhancing energy efficiency and incorporating sustainable materials and water conservation features.

The Innovation Campus will feature extensive daylight, green spaces, and a large LEGO element library, making it a unique and inspiring workspace. The design process included input from LEGO employees, who used LEGO bricks to help shape the future workspaces. The campus will include collaborative zones, play areas, and a central "PlayWay" pathway connecting different sections of the building. This modular structure reflects LEGO's commitment to creativity, inclusivity, and the free flow of ideas.

Scheduled to open in 2027, the Innovation Campus represents a significant investment in LEGO's Danish headquarters and underscores the company's dedication to innovative and sustainable workspaces. The campus aims to bring LEGO's design and development under one roof, supporting a seamless creative process and furthering the company's mission to innovate in every aspect of the LEGO experience. This new facility is part of LEGO's broader commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting a sustainable future.
