Origin
DTU Campus Village was constructed in the summer of 2001, and was opened as an international student dormitory starting in fall 2001. The cluster of container units were placed on a lot with the address 330 Elektrovej. Despite having a single campus address, Building 330 (Campus Village) is not a yellow-brick construction like other campus buildings. It is instead made up of many one-story structures resembling shipping containers, painted red like the DTU logo. International students have been housed in these "Containers" since the fall semester of 2001. The Danish accommodations officers at the International Office of DTU, as well as international-residents, call Campus Village by its nickname, the "Containers."

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“High treason, when it is resistance to tyranny here below, has its origin in, and is first committed by, the power that makes and forever re-creates man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
