Västerängsskolan

Nybro Municipality and Skanska have made many sustainable choices in the construction of Västerängsskolan, which stands as a shining example of how we can create safe and sustainable environments for the future, using wood from the inside out.

About the project

The architect’s focus for the new school has been to create a sustainable building that connects with the surrounding nature in Nybro.

The red window colour, for example, was inspired by Pukeberg’s glassworks industry, and most of the structural materials as well as the entire exterior facade are made of wood.

Many sustainable choices have been made by Nybro Municipality and Skanska, based on Nybro’s sustainability programme “Hopeful and Sustainable”, the goals set for sustainable development according to Agenda 2030, and the ambition to build according to the Miljöbyggnad Silver standard. One of these choices is the use of Södra’s cross-laminated timber (CLT) in large parts of the structure.

Our offer

A wise choice from family forestry

We offer processed elements in cross-laminated timber (CLT) for structural construction. Building with CLT results in lower climate impact compared to fossil-based construction materials, as it consists of a renewable resource and stores carbon dioxide.

We are here to answer your questions about CLT in the early planning stages, for quotes and other enquiries.
