PURPOSE
The memo describes the vision and framework for Ny KB Hal.
The memo is only the framework for a building program, not a full design brief. The framework
has to be processed and finalised in collaboration between the chosen operator, the chosen
architect and engineer, Frederiksberg Kommune and KB’s Board of Directors (Steering
Committee).

VISION
KB wants a new KB Hall (Ny KB Hal) with primary function as a concert and sports venue with a
capacity of between 4.500-5.000 people.
Ny KB Hal has to be financially viable but should still have an expression that makes the venue
recognizable and supports the brand “KB Hallen”.
Ny KB Hal has to have acoustics that support the primary function as a concert venue while also
having an acoustic flexibility that supports different potential uses and simultaneously facilitates
alteration between these.
Besides concerts, national and international sports events and other events under the operators
management, KB expects to have right of disposal for about 15% of the days in a year, where the
primary function of the Ny KB Hal will be for KB’s publicly orientated activities, ie. primarily for
KB’s members.

BACKGROUND
The former KB Hal, built in 1938, burnt down in September 2011 and in April 2014 the Hall was
de-listed. The former KB Hal could accommodate about 3.000 people (about 4.000 back when it

was built and the fire regulations weren’t as strict) and had over the years achieved an almost
iconic status – due to both the many great concerts that have been held and to its very bold
design in reinforced concrete.
KB has decided to build a new and bigger hall with a primary focus on concerts. The new building
will accommodate Ny KB Hal with the appertaining facilities plus about 2.000 m2, which can be
used for business purposes (primarily fitness).
KB expects the operation of the Ny KB Hal to be placed with a professional venue operator. When
the operator is known there will, on the background off his or hers experiences, own consultants
and goals for the operation, in cooperation with the chosen architect and engineer, be produced a
full design brief / building programme.

ARCHITECTURAL AND CULTURAL VALUE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS
KB would like the new building(s) to be inspired by the existing buildings – including the now
burnt down KB Hal. Thus the Board of Directors has asked Professor Christoffer Harlang to
produce a memo that describes the architectural and cultural value of existing buildings.
The memo is attached and should be seen as inspiration when working with the Ny KB Hal
5
EXISTING BUILDINGS, BUILDING SITE and ZONING PLAN
Ny KB Hal is thought to be built on the area where the old hall was plus necessary area from the
forecourt and/or from including one or more tennis courts. Tennis courts may perhaps be recreated on the roof(s) of the new building(s).
Ny KB Hal will be larger and with a different use than previous why there has to be prepared a
new zoning plan. The project has been discussed with Frederiksberg Kommune, who has
expressed a positive approach to the project.
Drawings of existing facilities can be found on Frederiksberg municipality’s digital platform.

NY KB HAL
The key words for Ny KB Hal is flexibility and logistics and good “front of house” facilities, i.e.
lobby, bars, lounges, toilets etc.
6.1
The hall
The main hall shall have a capacity about 4.500-5.000 partially seated guests plus stage area.
The layout shall be very flexible and through the use of retractable seating arrangements it shall
be possible to establish complete seating; partially seating and no seating situations.
Ny KB Hal must, besides concerts, be able to be used for different sports facilities, where handball
is the most space consuming. Field requirements for handball are, including free zone, minimum
24*44 m.

The hall must in concert situations have a free height of app 10 m plus app. 1.5 m for stage
whereto must be added about 3.5 m for rigs and other equipment.
When not used for neither concerts nor sports the hall will be used for exhibitions and
conferences based on a flat floor situation.
All concerts situations are expected to be electrically amplified so acoustics can relatively easy be
adjusted. However, the reverberation time should be around 1.8 – 1.9 sec.
6.2
Stage and technics
There will not be established a permanent stage, as a (new) stage will be constructed for each
individual event. The hall’s design, i.a. comprising technical systems and accessibility, must meet
flexible stage set-ups.
The roof of the hall must be able to carry the necessary rigs for projectors and audio equipment
etc. Weight is estimated to up to 60 tons concentrated at any 25 % of the internal roof surface.
6.3
Lobby and additional audience facilities
A significant amount of the revenue in a concert hall is made through sales of F&B and
Merchandise. It is therefore important to create sufficiently large and appropriate conditions for
the audience around bars, merchandise sale, cloakrooms, and toilets and to create options for
quick enter and exit of both the full complex and from the concert hall itself to the surrounding
facilities.
It shall be possible to use Lobby and lounges for conferences and meetings separate from the hall
itself and furthermore these should be dividable into smaller areas/rooms. Lounges for about
3*75 diners should be included.
6.4
Catering
Catering for conferences and for diners at concerts will be provided externally, expectedly from
KB’s own restaurant kitchen why easy transport to and from the kitchen should be prioritised.
However Ny KB Hal shall also contain a pantry kitchen for about 200 people.
Catering for concert audiences will be based upon fast food solutions prepared and sold in the hall
itself and/or in the lobby etc.
Facilities for separate catering for artists etc. (15-20 people) shall be provided in proximity to the
artists changing rooms and back stage facilities.
6.5
Backstage, service facilities etc.
Ny KB Hal must contain all necessary backstage facilities for people and equipment alike and it is
imperative that emphasis is put on easy and quick access for stages and stage equipment.
The backstage area must also contain good conditions for artists, i.e. rooms with daylight, a
kitchen (see above), changing rooms and bathrooms with washing/drying facilities.
Hall operations and administration staff require offices for 4-6 people.

Finally the back stage area shall provide production office area for technicians, film crew etc.
6.6
Box office
Ny KB Hall shall have an externally accessible box office.
6.7
Repository and storage facilities
If possible practically and financially there should be established a 3-500 m2 big repository and
storage facilities in the basement under Ny KB Hal. The area will be used by both KB and the hall
operator and must have easy access via a lift-table or directly with a forklift.
7
BUISNESS PREMISES
7.1
Business premises
KB expects that in parallel with the establishments of Ny KB Hal there can be established around
2.000 m2 business areas, of which app. 1.800 m2 is for fitness for both KB members and external
users under an off-site operator. The 2.000 m2 can be placed “freely” - i.e. adjacent to Ny KB Hal
(above, below or besides); free of Ny KB Hal or possibly even combined with (above or beside) the
existing building(s). The fitness areas shall be above ground level and equipped with windows and
preferably access to an outdoor recreational area.
It shall be examined technically, financially and commercially how the business premises could be
placed best.
The fitness areas are preferred at one and same level but could be established over two floors
with internal connection(s). The said 1.800 m2 should contain the following facilities





Changing rooms
Big hall
Spinning hall
Reception/Lounge
Training area
400 m2
200 m2
150 m2
150 m2
900 m2
When designing the fitness areas due attention shall be paid to noise – from both loud music in
the big hall area hall but also from “dropping” hand weights etc. on the floor in the training area.

BUILDING SITE AND SURROUNDING AREAS
8.1
The building site
The burned down hall had a footprint of about 45*65 m, while the footprint for Ny KB Hal can be
extended to about 70*50 m without touching the existing tennis courts, football fields or fire
accesses. Both Ny KB Hal and the business premises alike can involve using tennis courts.
However, a re-erection, possibly in the form of courts on the roof, will be prioritized.
8.2
Urban spaces and surrounding areas

KB wants proposals on how the forecourt towards Peter Bangsvej can be incorporated in the
project. When the former KB Hal opened, the forecourt was more integrated with the KB Hal and
formed a more natural opening access or “gate” towards Peter Bangsvej. Ny KB Hal cannot be
built on the forecourt itself, but ideas and visions for the space between Ny KB Hal and Peter
Bangsvej will be welcomed. It is underlined that a re-construction of the forecourt requires
negotiations with Frederiksberg municipality and the owner of the adjacent apartment blocks
(“Boldhusene”), the Carlsberg Foundation.
Current access roads and fire access routes on both sides of the existing hall must as a starting
point be maintained but the building(s) could, as presently, be cantilevered, as long as this doesn’t
collide with loading/unloading of equipment for use in the hall.
The surrounding area with reference to the backstage must be able to facilitate partly covered
entry and exit roads of trailers, from where you can drive level free into the hall with forklifts.
Alternatively, and better, the hall should be directly accessible with truck and trailer (drive-indrive-out).
The present parking areas alongside tennis courts and football fields should be maintained.
Parking in close proximity of the hall for television production equipment (OB truck) shall be
possible.
The football fields east of the hall must remain untouched.
9
FINANCIAL
Ny KB Hal will be financed by funds from the fire insurance policy supplemented with a municipal
loan guarantee and potentially grants as well.
At the current time we work with a total frame of approximately 125 million DKK, which will cover
all expenses after the demolition of the existing hall is paid for.
