Veidekke: To renovate primary school in Huddinge

Veidekke's Swedish subsidiary Arcona is about to start the remodelling of

Solfagraskolan primary school for Huddinge Samhällsfastigheter AB. The

collaborative design and build project has a total contract value of SEK 400

million.

Solfagraskolan is a preschool to sixth grade primary school in Huddinge. The

initial project phases, comprising planning and design, start immediately. The

current school buildings will be demolished and replaced by modern wooden

buildings certified in accordance with the environmental building standard

Miljöbyggnad 4.0, level silver. The new school will comprise a total area of

approx. 8,000 square metres. Also included in the project is an option to build

a 1,200-2,000 square metres sports facility.

This an important project to Arcona, both with regard to sustainability and as a

response to the growing demand for modern educational premises:

"At Arcona, we are proud to contribute to the transformation of the current

Solfagraskolan into modern and expedient teaching facilities - in collaboration

with Huddinge Samhällsfastigheter. The project, with its wooden frame, recycling

plans and environmental certification, is both exciting and in step with the

times," says Johan Månsson at Arcona.

During the past summer, the school moved to temporary pavilions, which will

house the students until the new school building is ready for occupancy from the

autumn semester 2028. Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2028.

"We are excited to start designing a functional and brand new school building in

collaboration with Arcona. The modernisation required at Solfagraskolan is

beyond what is feasible within the current premises. The choice of wood as the

main material underpins our ambition to reduce the climate impact," says Håkan

Lindblom at Huddinge Samhällsfastigheter.

The contract is included in the order book for the current quarter.
