The new elementary, middle and high school will offer a modern learning environment for around 45 students. The project includes a 2,150 m2 gross area school building with classrooms, special facilities, administration rooms, a school library and gym, as well as developing the outdoor environment.

"This is a project we’re really looking forward to starting. Being able to help build a new school that will be used by children and young people for generations to come is both inspiring and meaningful. We look forward to developing this project in close collaboration with Senja Municipality," says Espen Haugan, District Manager Peab Norway.

The project places high demands on, among other things, energy, acoustics, universal design and choosing materials that suit the coastal climate in Gryllefjord. Peab will also work systematically to reduce climate and environmental impact during the project period, for example by using electric machines, efficient use of resources and a high degree of sorting at source.

Planning the project will begin in August 2026 and construction is scheduled to start in November. The school is expected to be completed in the spring of 2028.

The project will be order registered in business area Construction in the third quarter 2026.
