Veidekke ASA: To build school on Askøy
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke Entreprenør has been awarded the contract to build a new school
building and to remodel parts of Tveit school on Askøy outside Bergen. The
contract with Askøy municipality is a general contract valued at close to NOK
130 million, excluding VAT.
The project will provide the school with more classrooms and group rooms, a new
library and a new multi-purpose hall with a stage, gym and accompanying changing
rooms. The new school building will be four stories in height and will be linked
to the existing school building, which will also undergo some remodelling. The
combined gross area for the new building and remodelled area in the project is
approximately 7,100 m², and the school will have a capacity of around 600 pupils
from the first to seventh grade when all works are completed.
The new building and parts of the existing building will be built with
significant focus on indoor climate, and the school will be heated by
environmentally friendly energy wells. Outdoor facilities will also be subject
to extensive upgrades with a new parking lot, adjustment of Kollevågveien,
rebuilding of the football pitch, the establishment of external roads, ramps and
stairs, and a play area with a wooden walkway and playground equipment that
invites physical exertion.
"Good school buildings are among the most important things we can build, and
we're very pleased to have won the competition for the contract and that Askøy
municipality has confidence in us. We're looking forward to good cooperation so
that we, along with the municipality's team and our subcontractors, jointly
complete the project in the best possible manner," says district manager Erlend
Bygnes with Veidekke Entreprenør.
Work will start on 1 December, and the new building will be ready for the start
of the school term in the autumn of 2018. The upgrade of the existing building
is scheduled for completion by February 2019.
