The project comprises an extension of 2,000 m2 with an internal passageway to the existing main building. The new two-story building will house eight classrooms and two rooms for afterschool activities. The school expansion also includes a minor renovation of the existing school building as well as improving the outdoor environment.

"We're very pleased to have received this project and want to thank Lillestrøm Municipality for their confidence in us. With the expansion of Skjetten School we continue our commitment to building good learning environments for the future. Now we're looking forward to starting construction," says Håvard Dybendal, District Manager at Peab in Norway.

Lillestrøm Municipality has lofty environmental ambitions for the project and the extension will be a passive house with a green A energy label. Solar panels on the roof and district heating will contribute to energy efficient solutions. The project makes stringent demands regarding managing excavation soil, reducing waste and that the construction site is emission free, which entails using electrical construction equipment for groundwork and building the outdoor environment.

The project is a turnkey contract. Construction is scheduled to start in the spring of 2025 and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2026.

The project will be order registered in the first quarter 2025.
