"We are both happy and proud to have won the competition and we appreciate the confidence shown in us. Building good schools is one of the most important things we can do, and I am sure that the new Skram school will be a great joy for students, teachers and other users. Kinn municipality sets clear requirements for climate, environment and energy, which we greatly appreciate," says district manager Ole Petter Henden in Veidekke Bygg Sogn og Fjordane.
The new school is designed for 250 pupils from first to seventh grade with nearly 30 employees. It is built according to the passive house standard with at least a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to the reference level. The school will have a traditional two-parallel classroom division with a total area of 5,000 m² over three floors. In the basement, there will be a gymnasium with changing rooms that can function separately outside school hours and meet the requirements for sports funding. The development of outdoor areas is also included in the contract.
"We are very pleased that an important milestone in the project has now been passed. The demolition work has started and is progressing well. We are therefore also pleased that we can soon start building a new and modern school in Måløy. The new school will make an important contribution so that the municipality can offer both employees and pupils good facilities with a modern pedagogical learning area," says municipal director Øyvind Bang-Olsen in Kinn municipality.
The current school is being demolished these days, and the new one will be built on the same site in the center of Måløy. Construction is planned to start in the summer with completion by the start of the school year in 2027.
The contract is included in Veidekke's order backlog for the first quarter.
