Veidekke ASA: To build new primary school in Uppsala

Veidekke has been contracted to build a new primary school for Uppsala

municipality Skolfastigheter AB. The new Brantingskolan will be a modern primary

school that can accommodate 720 pupils in grades 4 to 9. The project is an

execution contract valued at SEK 261 million, and the start of construction is

planned for summer 2019, with completion in 2021.

With the contract signed, the project is expected to commence shortly. The next

step is the piling for the new buildings. Approx. 700 piles will be driven into

the ground to ensure that the school has a safe foundation. Piling will

hopefully start this summer.

"We are extremely pleased to continue to contribute to Uppsala's development

through the construction of the new Brantingsskolan, and we look forward to

working with Skolfastigheter through involving collaboration," says department

manager Anthony Norén at Veidekke Building Construction in Uppsala.

Central Uppsala has a shortage of primary school capacity, and Brantingsskolan

is therefore a welcome addition. From the outside, the new building will be

reminiscent of the previous school and will harmonise well with its

surroundings. The school yard will also be transformed into a pleasant

environment, for the benefit of students during school hours and neighbours on

evenings and weekends. The auditorium will be preserved, but the remainder of

the current building will be replaced by new and modern teaching premises. The

location within the schoolyard as well as the height and length of the building

will be as today, but the "wings" will be somewhat wider than before.
