By GlobalData“One of the challenges with the project is minimising the effects on passing traffic and at the same time putting very high demands on safeguarding our personnel.”
Recently, the company was awarded a $47.4m (SEK405m) contract by Enköping Municipality to construct the new Westerlundska High School in Enköping.
The school will be three stories and include three buildings, which will feature common functions like the entrance hall, reception, aula, library and cafeteria in one of the buildings and the other two buildings are designated quieter study environments.
The project will also include two green inner courtyards with different designs that will link the buildings together.
Furthermore, the new high school is planned to be completed May 2024.
Peab region manager Nils Staffansson said: “We look forward to building the new school for Enköping’s high school students and we’re glad that the municipality has put such an emphasis on sustainability and climate.”
