By GlobalDataThe new school, along with its connected buildings, will cover a total area of 10,000m². The buildings will feature predominantly wooden facades in yellow and dark green pine.
The school will have three storeys, with educational spaces complemented by a full-sized sports arena with bleachers, a dining room with a commercial kitchen, and specialised rooms for crafts, music, economics, and media.
Ulricehamn Municipality project manager Johan Abrahamsson said: “We are pleased to have chosen Peab. It is a good company with extensive experience and references from similar projects.”
The project is being registered in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2024 and is scheduled for completion in early 2027.
In recent years, Peab has constructed Särla School in Borås, Noltorp School in Alingsås, and Lindblad School in Vårgårda, all located in the Södra Älvsborg area of Sweden.
Furthermore, Peab has been awarded a contract to build new barracks in Visby, Gotland, for the Swedish Fortifications Agency, valued at Skr207m.
The 6,500m² barracks will be located within the Tofta Garrison and will include dormitories, changing rooms, classrooms, storage spaces, and relaxation areas.
The facility will support the Swedish Armed Forces’ training needs for recruits.
The project work will begin this month and is expected to be finished by May 2026, with the order scheduled for registration by Peab in Q1 2025.
