Veidekke: To build school in Kristiansand

Kristiansand municipality and Veidekke today signed a contract for the

construction of Wilds Minne school, which will accommodate 500 primary level

students. With high environmental ambitions, the project will emphasise reuse,

environmental benefits and innovation. The value of the collaborative design and

build contract is NOK 376 million excl. VAT.

The new Wilds Minne school will comprise an area of approx. 6,000 m[2], in

addition to a 3,500 m[2] multi-purpose facility with commercial premises on the

ground floor. The 500 students and 60 school staff will be able to enjoy a

stunning outdoor area and a school building constructed with extensive use of

massive wood and environmentally friendly solutions.

"After long and strong collaboration with Kristiansand municipality and the

other parties involved in the development of this sustainable and solid school

project, we are happy to see the political process concluded, and excited to

finally be able to start construction. We appreciate being entrusted with the

assignment," says Atle Monan, district manager at Veidekke Construction Agder.

Demolition of the existing buildings on the site has begun. Construction work

starts in August 2022, with completion in June 2024. Read more about the project
