The school premises lasted only for 22 years
The latest building of Hólabrekkuskóli is closed due to major maintenance and reconstruction. The estimated total cost is about ISK 500 million.
The completion date will be in April 2026 and the premises will be put into operation in the fall. This youngest part of school buildings on the site was put into operation in 2002 and has therefore only lasted for 22 years.
In the City of Reykjavik’s response to the request of Morgunblaðið, it is stated that this is the first phase of construction at Hólabrekkuskóli, which consists of four houses. The first phase of the project covers the southernmost building of the school, which is also the youngest of the four houses.
Initially, it was considered sufficient to renew the window system, fix the roof and improve the acoustics. In the latter stages, the request from the School and Leisure Division came to take advantage of the opportunity and update the interior of the building in accordance with the requirements of modern teaching. The Council’s suggestions were designed for bedridden homes for each group, with group rooms between the homes, a larger natural science and a special work room for teachers.
Flat roof built up
An aluminum window system will be replaced and the house isolated and clad on the outside to access the cold bridge which has led to moisture. The flat roof will be built up with a new roof slope to reduce the risk of leaks. A new ventilation with thermal processing will be installed. Accessibility and accessibility will be in accordance with the utmost modern requirements. The acoustics in the house were insufficient and it lacked a lift in a new part of the house. The reconstruction will be a Swan, which is to ensure that the house in the house will be the best choice, both in terms of the health of students and staff, the house will be more eco -friendly and energy efficiency better.
15 billion in maintenance
The project is part of the city’s maintenance campaign in school premises, but Hólabrekkuskóli is among the school buildings that are the first priority. The city has secured funding from the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) for € 100 million, or about ISK 15 billion.
