Ringe State Prison
In 2025, a new extension to Ringe State Prison opened. The expansion includes 4,400 new square metres and is also accompanied by a renovation of the 1,300 m² in the existing building.
Ringe State Prison was originally designed by Alex Poulsen Architects in the mid-1970s, who were also responsible for its expansion and renovation. The idea behind the prison was to focus on inmates' rights and resocialisation by creating a college-like environment. In a modern context, the prison - and the project - balances the original ideas with today's knowledge and demands for maximum security.
At Teamtronic, we have supplied the basic lighting for the project, which helps maintain this balance. This means that our luminaires both fulfil the strict safety requirements that are essential and at the same time create the right atmosphere so that both inmates and staff feel comfortable in their daily lives.
Indoors, our classic T-Hee, T-Blackbird and Z-line series are installed, among other things, to optimise the everyday life of inmates and at the same time create optimal working conditions for the staff who have their daily routine in the prison. The choice of lighting solution was therefore based on luminaires that could fulfil both purposes while meeting the high safety requirements. In terms of design, the minimalist expression of the luminaires matches the architectural considerations behind the original building, the renovated wards and the new extension.
Outdoors, our T-FDA series and Model Z Bollard provide solid ambient lighting in outdoor areas. The goal is to create an illuminated outdoor environment that complements the architectural design, building function and high safety requirements.
The lighting in the project has been carefully selected with a focus on supporting a safe, optimal and secure daily life for both inmates and everyone else in the building.
