Veidekke has been contracted to build a new primary school for Uppsala
municipality Skolfastigheter AB. The new Brantingskolan will be a modern primary
school that can accommodate 720 pupils in grades 4 to 9. The project is an
execution contract valued at SEK 261 million, and the start of construction is
planned for summer 2019, with completion in 2021.
With the contract signed, the project is expected to commence shortly. The next
step is the piling for the new buildings. Approx. 700 piles will be driven into
the ground to ensure that the school has a safe foundation. Piling will
hopefully start this summer.
"We are extremely pleased to continue to contribute to Uppsala's development
through the construction of the new Brantingsskolan, and we look forward to
working with Skolfastigheter through involving collaboration," says department
manager Anthony Norén at Veidekke Building Construction in Uppsala.
Central Uppsala has a shortage of primary school capacity, and Brantingsskolan
is therefore a welcome addition. From the outside, the new building will be
reminiscent of the previous school and will harmonise well with its
surroundings. The school yard will also be transformed into a pleasant
environment, for the benefit of students during school hours and neighbours on
evenings and weekends. The auditorium will be preserved, but the remainder of
the current building will be replaced by new and modern teaching premises. The
location within the schoolyard as well as the height and length of the building
will be as today, but the "wings" will be somewhat wider than before.
