Peab region manager Kjetil Nordang said: “We’re very pleased that we can continue to build in this area and use the expertise we’ve garnered from other school projects here. The school will be a big boost for the local community.”

The company said that the new building will be constructed as per the Passive House Standard.

It also noted that several environmental measures, including material which can be recycled or broken down for reuse, are part of the construction project.

Ørsta Municipality project manager Frank Flusund said: “Peab has carried out several turnkey contracts for Ørsta Municipality previously, most recently Sæbø School and the pre-school that opened in October this year.

“We’ve worked well together and we receive a lot of good feedback regarding Sæbø.”

Construction work on the project is scheduled to commence in February next year, with completion anticipated by the summer of 2024.
