Mission statement
We were responsible for the interior during a complete renovation of the historic building. Adapting the premises to modern learning. This involved traditional classrooms as well as lecture theatres, special classrooms, laboratories, administrative rooms, a canteen and a library.
Katedralskolan is a prestigious upper secondary school in central Uppsala with approximately 1500 students. The school consists of three different buildings from different periods; a building of cultural and historical value from the 1860s, one from the 1930s and one from the 1960s. The renovation and extension of Katedralskolan has been under consideration for some time as the school was in need of new installations, better accessibility and logistics as well as a new café area.
One of the aims of the renovation was also to make the school more suitable for modern learning. The renovation was carried out in two phases, which were completed in HT 2018 and HT 2019.
Indicum has been responsible for the work and procurement of the interior environment in both phases. The project has involved work on traditional classrooms as well as lecture theatres, special classrooms, laboratories, administrative facilities, canteen and library.
Solution
Different types of seating to create a variety of study environments. Both individual and group work spaces are available. Throughout the project, Indicum has worked closely with operational staff and has worked with reference groups of students, teachers and administrative staff. The result is a functional, beautiful and coherent teaching environment where history meets the present in an exciting way. The premises are now designed to provide a modern, evolving teaching environment for the future.
