Veidekke ASA: To build comprehensive school at Jessheim
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke has won the competition to build Gystadmarka comprehensive school at
Jessheim. The value of the contract is NOK 230 million excluding VAT. "We're
pleased to have won this school project in a good and exciting PPP competition
for Ullensaker municipality," says Birte Almeland with Veidekke Entreprenør.
PPP project
The project will be implemented in accordance with the PPP model (public-private
partnership), which entails that Veidekke both develops, plans, builds and
operates the school. Veidekke has also been responsible for funding the project.
Ullensaker municipality will lease the school for 25 years, and during the term
of the lease Veidekke will be responsible for operation and maintenance through
a separate operation contract. After the first five years, parts of the
operation contract will be renegotiated.
Veidekke is currently developing two corresponding PPP projects; Rykkinn school
for Bærum municipality and Jessheim upper secondary school for Akershus County
Municipality. "There are good synergies in having several PPP schools at the
same time, and we're looking forward to being responsible for operating two
large school buildings at Jessheim as far into the future as 2043. We would also
like to thank all of our partners who participated in the competition stage,
which has been ongoing since June 2015," Almeland concludes.
School with stadium stand
The new comprehensive school will be built for 750 students and 30 classes. The
building totals 9,215 m(2) (gross area) in size on four floors. The building is
located next to the UKI Arena football stadium, and the project includes a stand
at one of the ends of the football pitch with 1,000 seats and a service building
linked to the football pitch. Building work is scheduled to start in the spring
of 2016 and is due for completion at the start of school in winter 2018. It will
be a modern and functional comprehensive school for the new district emerging at
Gystadmarka.
