In 2006, the Odense University College of Engineering was merged into the university and renamed as the Faculty of Engineering. After being located in different parts of Odense for several years, a brand new Faculty of Engineering building physically connected to the main Odense Campus was established and opened in 2015. In 2007, the Business School Centre in Slagelse ("Handelshøjskolecentret Slagelse") and the National Institute of Public Health ("Statens Institut for Folkesundhed") were also merged into the University of Southern Denmark.
