The old school building dates from 1926, and the project involves approximately 2,300 m² of renovation and modernization of the nearly 100-year-old building, including 200 m² of modernization of classrooms for grades 3–6 with a shared learning area, 139 m² of conversion of the home economics room for another purpose, and 1,975 m² of indoor climate improvements, including ventilation, sunshades, views from the second floor, etc.

In addition to the modernization, the project also includes approximately 2,200 m² of new construction. The expansion is expected to include new classrooms, specialized classrooms, and staff workspaces.

Throughout the project, it must be taken into account that the school will remain in use for the vast majority of the construction period.

Consequently, a key task for the consultant is to ensure that disruptions associated with the construction site location, material deliveries, and construction-related disturbances (noise, dust, road closures, etc.) are kept to a minimum.

The City of Aarhus expects the move-in to take place in 2028.

The project includes sustainability management and LCA calculations, for which Gaiup - Real-Time LCA was used to document the carbon footprint.

The renovation and new construction comply with a maximum limit of 8 kg CO₂/m²/year in accordance with Danish low-emission building regulations. Additionally, the expansion must be designed to accommodate the installation of solar panels.
