Passivhus-standard gymnastikkbygg

Undervisningsbygg and Veidekke Entreprenør have signed a contract on a Thursday afternoon for the construction of a new gym building with passive house standards at Østensjø school for the sum of 30.5 million NOK. Although not a large contract by volume, it is a pivotal project for both parties, primarily because it will be executed as a passive house - meaning a building with a very low energy requirement - and as a BIM (Building Information Modeling) project from start to finish.

Veidekkes førsteklasses BIM-prosjekt

This undertaking is a significant trial for both Undervisningsbygg, which hasn't realized a full-scale BIM previously, and Veidekke in Oslo, whom this will be their first complete BIM project in the area. The construction is valued at 30.5 million NOK excluding VAT, is planned to be completed by the school start of 2012, and will encompass a gym building with an additional floor of educational spaces, summing up to a total of 1150 square meters.

Ombygging til anleggs kontor

Operational managers’ and principal's residences at Østensjø will be converted into a construction office as the setup begins. The project's architect is Archus Arkitekter. Rigmor Hansen, Managing Director of Undervisningsbygg, shared that significant developments in the construction of school buildings are expected in Oslo, with plans to realize 17,000 new school seats by 2022, signaling massive future expansions with annual spending expected to exceed two billion NOK.
