Veidekke: Builds student housing in Kristiansand

After completing the interaction phase, Veidekke has signed a contract with the

Student Welfare Organisation in Agder (SiA) to construct two buildings in solid

wood with housing for 400 students, commercial areas and underground parking in

Kristiansand. This commission is a design and build contract worth almost NOK

450 million, excluding VAT.

"We would like to thank SiA for their good, close cooperation during the

interaction phase and that we have now also been awarded the actual construction

commision. There is a great need for more student housing in Kristiansand and it

is a great pleasure for us to build something that means so much to many people

here in the city. Veidekke has built beautiful student housing in solid wood in

many towns and cities around the country, which is why we are now pleased to

build the same here in Kristiansand," says district manager Atle Monan of

Veidekke Bygg Agder.

The project is located at Lund Torv near the city centre and consists of two

buildings in solid wood of five and six storeys above ground. The total area is

just over 17,000 m[2], which will accommodate 400 students in 371 residential

units plus commercial areas on the ground floor and a parking facility in the

basement. There will also be common functions such as laundry, storage rooms,

bicycle parking and caretaker areas, as well as development of the outdoor area

between the buildings.

Demolition work will start next week and building is scheduled to start in early

October, with occupation in time for the start of studies in August 2025.
