Veidekke: To renovate primary school in Huddinge
Veidekke's Swedish subsidiary Arcona is about to start the remodelling of Solfagraskolan primary school for Huddinge Samhällsfastigheter AB. The collaborative design and build project has a total contract value of SEK 400 million.
Solfagraskolan is a preschool to sixth grade primary school in Huddinge. The initial project phases, comprising planning and design, start immediately. The current school buildings will be demolished and replaced by modern wooden buildings certified in accordance with the environmental building standard Miljöbyggnad 4.0, level silver. The new school will comprise a total area of approx. 8,000 square metres. Also included in the project is an option to build a 1,200–2,000 square metres sports facility.
This an important project to Arcona, both with regard to sustainability and as a response to the growing demand for modern educational premises:
“At Arcona, we are proud to contribute to the transformation of the current Solfagraskolan into modern and expedient teaching facilities – in collaboration with Huddinge Samhällsfastigheter. The project, with its wooden frame, recycling plans and environmental certification, is both exciting and in step with the times,” says Johan Månsson at Arcona.
During the past summer, the school moved to temporary pavilions, which will house the students until the new school building is ready for occupancy from the autumn semester 2028. Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2028.
“We are excited to start designing a functional and brand new school building in collaboration with Arcona. The modernisation required at Solfagraskolan is beyond what is feasible within the current premises. The choice of wood as the main material underpins our ambition to reduce the climate impact,” says Håkan Lindblom at Huddinge Samhällsfastigheter.
The contract is included in the order book for the current quarter.
