Svart­edals School, Bisk­o­ps­g­arden

At Svart­eda­l­ss­kolan in Bisk­o­ps­gå­rden, 66 per cent of pupils were eligible for upper seco­ndary school in 2019. This is well below the country‘s average of 85%. In recent years, the Gothe­n­burg region has there­fore invested in raising average grades. Among other things, a comp­l­etely new school has been built.

The new school, which was inaug­urated during the autumn semester 2020, is both large and modern. The arch­itect‘s office Wahlström and Stei­jner gave the building a pyramid-like shape so that it would blend in among the surro­unding hills.

The 12,500 square meter building can accom­modate 750 stud­ents in grades four to nine. In addition to school prem­ises, there is also a library, dining room, a large kitchen and a sports hall. An over-glazed atrium has also been created as a bonus area for exhib­it­ions, works­hops and perfo­rmances. When it comes to elect­rical instal­lat­ions, everyt­hing is well thought out and adapted for the future.
