Veidekke ASA: To build school extension in Årsta by Stockholm for SISAB
Veidekke’s subsidiary Arcona has been commissioned to renovate and extend Skanskvarnsskolan in Årsta, just outside Stockholm, for The Stockholm School Properties Company, SISAB. The project is an execution contract with a contract sum of SEK 147 million. Work starts in June and is scheduled to be completed in June 2022.
Skanskvarnsskolan is being expanded in order to meet current school building requirements and to accommodate the student body that is expected in the upcoming years. An existing building will be demolished and replaced by a new school building with a gross area of 6,000 square meters, comprising a gym, an institutional kitchen, a lunch room and premises for educational and leisure activities. The contract also comprises renovation of the school yard and an adjacent road with turning area. School and preschool activities will be ongoing in other school buildings and in the school yard throughout the construction period. The new building will be certified to the environmental standard Miljöbyggnad SILVER.
“SISAB and the education administration are looking forward to realising our plans for students and staff at Skanskvarnsskolen in collaboration with Arcona. This is a good project, where everyone involved share a common responsibility towards the children and the Stockholm municipality,” says Helene Logren, project manager, SISAB.
“We are proud and excited to enter into another collaboration with SISAB and the education administration – now concerning Skanskvarnsskolan,” says Ella Bringle, project manager, Arcona. “We are expecially excited to be building great modern premises for our children. As the school will be operational throughout the construction period, high attention will be paid to logistics, work environment, and third parties.”
Arcona is also reconstructing the preschool “Framtidens förskola Blågull” in Hässelby for SISAB. Last autumn, the company completed a major renovation of Östra Real's upper secondary school in Stockholm.
