Veidekke: Building Kvam upper secondary school in Norheimsund

Veidekke: Building Kvam upper secondary school in Norheimsund

After completing the interaction phase, Veidekke has been awarded the contract

to build the new Kvam upper secondary school with a cinema and library in

Norheimsund. The contract with Vestland county municipality is a design and

build contract valued at close to NOK 380 million, excluding VAT.

The new school will be 8,800 m[2] in size and will have around 300 students and

60 employees. The school will have specialisations in general studies,

engineering and industrial subjects, electrical and computer technology, health

and childhood subjects as well as work and everyday life training. Thanks to

good cooperation with Kvam municipality, a cinema, library, administration for

the cultural school and adult education will also occupy the building.

"We were very pleased when we won the price and design competition last autumn,

and we're even more pleased now that we have been awarded the construction

contract. Together with the county municipality, the municipality, users of the

building, the architects in VIS-A-VIS and the advisory group, in the interaction

phase we have optimised an excellent project for students, teachers and other

users of the school's facilities," says district manager Thor Småbrekke with

Veidekke Bygg Bergen.

Veidekke's concept 'oRakel' was chosen because, according to the evaluation,

this was the proposal that best utilises the site and which, through location

and organisation, achieves good solutions for both interior and exterior areas.

The building will be certified in accordance with the BREEAM-NOR Excellent

environmental standard .

"The features in 'oRakel' have consistently good solutions both as individual

rooms and as functional groups. The common area is well adapted for co-use and

multi-use, which in its own way facilitates strengthening cooperation and

learning across disciplines," says Jan Tore Rosenlund, Development Manager -

Development / Property with Vestland County Municipality.

Construction is scheduled to start in August with a two-stage handover in

October 2024 and October 2025, respectively. More information about the school

is available at www.kvam.vgs.no
