Rogaland, Norway – June 2025 – Skanska has signed a contract with Gjesdal Municipality to build the new Gjesdal Health Center in Rogaland County, a forward-thinking project that emphasizes environmental performance, community care, and long-term value. The NOK 360 million (approx. SEK 340 million) project will be entered into Skanska’s Nordic order bookings for Q2 2025.
Project Scope and Facilities
The 8,700 square meter health center is designed to serve the growing needs of the Gjesdal community. It will include:
- 76 institutional care places
- A café and institutional kitchen
- Physiotherapy and occupational therapy facilities
- Support and service areas
- A 2,000 square meter parking garage
- Seamless integration with an adjacent residential and activity center
High Environmental Ambitions
The project is set to be certified BREEAM-NOR Excellent, one of the highest sustainability ratings in Norway. This demonstrates Gjesdal Municipality’s and Skanska’s shared commitment to climate-conscious development.
Skanska will implement its proprietary LowEx energy concept, a low-exergy system for efficient heating and cooling, helping reduce emissions, operational costs, and energy usage throughout the building’s lifecycle.
Timeline and Outlook
- Construction start: September 2025
- Completion expected: June 2027
This health center will not only enhance access to essential services in the region but also serve as a model of sustainable healthcare infrastructure in the Nordic countries.
“This project aligns perfectly with our goal of building for a better society,” said a Skanska representative. “Through modern, patient-centered design and environmentally responsible construction, we’re creating a facility that meets the current and future needs of the community.”
