By GlobalDataBefore the erection of a new building reusing the old materials, the barn building, which has deteriorated for several years, will be dismantled completely.
The new building will feature a work centre including a carpentry workshop on two floors, its farm store, an institutional kitchen, and sheltered housing.
Nearly 2,000m² in size, the new building will have the same design as the original multi-purpose barn from around 1890.
It will reduce a minimum of 50% CO₂ in line with FutureZero.
Through the use of electric construction machines, the construction site will be emission-free.
Completion of the new build is scheduled for the first quarter of next year.
Nedre Sem Barn is also included in the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative of the EU as a pilot.
Before this development, Oslo S utvikling awarded a contract worth more than NOK1.037bn ($104.7m) to Veidekke for the Mariakvartalet residential project in Bjørvika, Norway.
Veidekke will serve as a design and build contractor for the project.
