The entrance area is equipped with meeting rooms and interview rooms, and the administration building contains offices and staff facilities. Egely is surrounded by a 5 m high wall with advanced surveillance equipment.

Self-contained housing units with more facilities

The three areas of arrival, administration and housing units are connected to each other via a monitoring unit. There is a gymnasium with outdoor basketball and football built for common use.

As Denmark ramps up its green ambitions, climate requirements for construction have been tightened.
