A school for the future

The newly built school – Tolvåker School – houses children and youths from pre-school up to the ninth grade with sports halls and other spaces that make it possible to hold other activities there. The whole idea of the project was that the entire Tolvåker area would develop so that the school would be available for other activities like the Arts School, club meetings and a rec center.

The school building is both environmentally adapted and the result of dialogue early in the project and close collaboration between the general contractor and the construction contractor. Working together KKB, Kävlinge Municipality’s real estate company, and Peab have figured out the best solutions and taken advantage of Peab’s broad range of operations. This has included the expertise and offers from Peab’s civil engineering operations, Swerock and several Lambertsson companies, resulting in an efficient and effective project.

“We’ve had a good and open dialogue with Peab throughout the project and were both focused on what was best for the project regarding sustainability, quality and economically,” says Mikael Elofsson, KKB’s project leader for Kävlinge Municipality.

The early and tight collaboration has enabled developing long-term solutions for the school and a clear life cycle perspective. The school meets stringent environmental demands, is built from renewable material and its energy is largely supplied by a geothermal plant and extensive roof solar panels.

For students the school is a significant upgrade in their educational and general environment, which makes it an important fundament in young citizens’ basic education.
