“We especially appreciate that we and our partners have been able to participate in and develop the project from day one along with Tysvær municipality and the users’ representatives.
“Broad involvement yields better solutions, predictability and greater ownership in the project from all parties.”
The Helsekvartalet complex aims to foster an inclusive environment that promotes well-being, quality of life, and fellowship.
