Driving positive change in Gellerup

In Gellerup, we are constructing the district’s new lower secondary school, which was named Kløverskolen following a naming competition.

Together with the municipality, we have aimed for a highly transparent construction process, allowing future staff and students to follow the progress closely through site visits and regular updates. We are also actively working to involve local labour, contributing to the development of the local community.

School construction in the 2020s has changed significantly compared to previous practise. Modern schools must accommodate contemporary pedagogical approaches and new learning methods. Kløverskolen is being built with rooms of various sizes and shapes, both inside and out, to support Aarhus Municipality’s educational ambitions.

Brick, wood and concrete

The construction is guided by a goal to minimise climate impact throughout the building’s lifecycle. It is designed to inspire and encourage environmentally friendly living, with features such as intuitive waste sorting and visible energy meters to enhance students’ understanding of sustainable behaviour. We are using wood, brick and concrete to create a beautiful and functional result.

The client's and our shared ambition is to achieve DGNB Gold certification. Together with the advisors and the client, we are integrating climate considerations from the outset. In close collaboration with MT Højgaard Danmark, Sweco is continuously conducting LCA calculations to assess how different materials affect the building’s overall carbon footprint.

The school is scheduled to open in summer 2025.
