Located at the corner of Smallegade and Søndre Fasanvej, bordering Frederiksberg Have, you find Porcelænshaven. The Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory has been converted and refurbished to provide the premises for education and research. Owned by FUHU (the Danish Society for te Advancement of Business Education), which leases Porcelænshaven and the Råvarebygning to CBS, the buildings of Porcelænshaven and the Råvarebygning have a total of approximately 20,000 sqm.

The Factory has existed since 1882 and created the framework. After the relocation of the production there are now more room for other activities. 19,000 sqm of the old factory have been converted into classrooms and administrative offices. The rest of Porcelænshaven is intended for houses, and student life is, therefore, an integrated part of the residential area. The major part of the refurbishment of the factory buildings was finished in 2005 - and CBS' units and departments started to take up residence.

The second phase of the project included renovation and refurbishment of the Kiln Hall. The old kiln hall of The Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory, which is 1,000 sqm now serves as a main hall with a cafeteria, which makes the area suitable for larger events. Apart from that, the Kiln Hall also houses classrooms and a fitness room.

The third phase is the refurbishment of the 3,000 sqm Råvarebygning, which is expected to be finished during the summer of 2009. Henning Larsen Architects has been chosen to rebuild the Råvarebygning, which will house modern teaching and research communities with classrooms, offices and meeting rooms.
