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."

to break the armored and concluded mind.”
