Veidekke to build school in Torpa in Innlandet county

Veidekke is to build and renovate Torpa primary and lower secondary school for

Nordre Land municipality. The contract involves both a new build and renovation

and erecting a multi-purpose hall. This is a design and build construction

contract valued at NOK 150 million, excluding VAT.

Torpa primary and lower secondary school will emerge as a completely new school

for teachers and the around 200 pupils when they move in in January 2022.

Veidekke will build a new school building 4,100 m[2] in size, including a

swimming facility with a 12 metre pool, and an existing building of 1,200 m[2]

will be completely renovated. A 1,650 m[2 ]multi-purpose hall with wardrobes

will also be built in connection with the school.

"Building good school buildings is one of the most worthwhile things society can

do, and one of the most meaningful things we contractors take part in. We would

like to thank Nordre Land municipality for the contract and good cooperation so

far, and we are now looking forward to really getting started with construction

as spring progresses," says district manager Geirmund Østvold of Veidekke Bygg.

Demolition work has already started, while building will start in April with

handover scheduled before the Christmas of 2021. The contract is included in

Veidekke's backlog for the first quarter.
