NCC has secured a contract from the Swedish city of Västerås to extend Carlforsska senior high school.

The extension is intended to address the growing requirements of the school.

The contract is valued at $13.95m (SEK150m).

The City of Västerås property director Magnus Dureman said: “Carlforsska grows and will become one of the largest schools in Västerås as we extend the school. We have good experience of partnering with NCC from previous projects.”

Carlforsska senior high school is situated centrally in Västerås.

A major portion of the extension will be used by Lidmanska senior high school, which is currently the only special-needs senior high school in the city.

The remaining portion of the project will be a mainstream senior high school.

This 4,300m2 new building will feature two storeys. A linking corridor will be constructed on the second floor to connect the new structure with the current school building.

The contract features a school yard and an upgrade of all the outdoor environments of the school.

The school building will be Miljöbyggnad Silver certified.

NCC Building Sweden business manager Anders Lindkvist said: “By working closely from an early stage, we can draw on our experience and collective knowledge, which will shorten the planning process and create synergies for the projects.”

Earthworks have begun, and the project is planned to be finished by summer 2024.

The order will be recorded in the NCC Building Sweden business area in Q3 of this year.
