Gustafs / Hägerneholm School

A School With Focus on Acoustics and Materials

FOCUS ON ACOUSTICS

Hägerneholms School’s focus on acoustics and materials are two essential subjects that have been central in the construction of the new school. The reason is the open spaces and lack of corridors. That has made the acoustics in the building into an important aspect from a environmental perspective.

Gustafs have produced and installed timber panels in the main entrance, welcoming the students to the school. The timber panels are installed on the walls and are also cladding the cubic meeting rooms that have been creatively installed in the atrium. All timber panels are made in oak veneer.

ENVIRONMENTAL BUILDING GOLD

The school that accommodate 600 students and 110 preschoolers is certified according to the Swedish standard Environmental Building Gold, which means that high demands are placed on energy consumption, indoor environment, air, acoustics and materials.

In Sweden, it is just over five years since a research study was published, outlining the need to build a further 1,000 schools in just 10 years. Since then, a number of architects, developers and contractors have lobbied and worked with local authorities to meet the demand for both new and refurbished schools, bringing ideas, competence and knowledge. We are now halfway through those 10 years, so it seems fitting, especially in the light of Covid’s lessons, to take a look at recent education facilities by Swedish architects, and summarise three common threads and trends.
