Aarhus International School Launches Major Renovation Project

Aarhus International School (AIS) has initiated a comprehensive renovation of its older buildings on Dalgas Avenue in Aarhus. Originally built in 1961 by Aarhus Municipality, the buildings are largely unchanged.

Thanks to generous donations totalling DKK 22 million from Villum Fonden, Lars Larsen Group, Salling Fondene, and Poul Due Jensens Fond, AIS can now bring all of its facilities up to modern standards.

“We are incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received. These contributions are vital to securing a strong international school offering in Aarhus, which plays a key role in attracting global talent to the city,” says Head of School Robert McCluskey. “With this support, we can ensure all our facilities are up-to-date and prepared for the continued growth of our school.”

Board Chair Niclas Kvernrød adds: “Our priority is to improve indoor climate and learning environments, ensuring that our facilities meet the growing needs of our students and offer the best possible conditions for teaching and wellbeing. These donations will enable us to bring our older buildings up to the same high standard we expect across the entire school, and for that, we are truly thankful.”

Donation Breakdown:
