AF Gruppen is set to be awarded the main turnkey contract by Moss
Municipality for the Hoppern School project on the island of Jeløya.
The contract encompasses the complete demolition of the existing
school and gymnasium, the construction of 5 buildings in parallel
using timber to house a lower secondary school and sports hall, and
the construction of new outdoor facilities. The school is planned to
have the capacity for 450 pupils and around 50 employees. The school
and sports hall have a total gross floor area of approximately 9,900
m2.
Both the school and sports hall will be constructed according to the
Passiv Haus standard and will be BREEAM certified at the 'Very Good'
level.
A solar system will be delivered on both the school and sports hall,
with the positioning and design of this on the school building
representing an opportunity to make it part of the architectural
expression.
This is a turnkey contract worth approximately NOK 215 million,
excluding VAT.
The work will start in June 2017, and the school will be ready for
the start of the school year in 2019.
"AF Gruppen is grateful for the trust that Moss Municipality has
shown by selecting AF as the contractor for the Hoppern School
project. 'This is the third project our building operation in
Østfold has won in a competition in a short period of time, and
demonstrates that we have a highly competitive contractor in Follo
and Østfold", says Morten Grongstad, CEO of AF Gruppen.
