In June 2016, a new modern school was opened in Gol, Norway, after almost two years of construction.
The three-story building, with a gross floor area of 91.493 ft², accommodates 750 1st- through 10th-grade students.
Large glass surfaces provide good lighting conditions in the building all year round. The Norwegian company DBC AS, a customer of Dlubal Software, was responsible for the structural analysis of the school and the detailed planning of all in-situ concrete constructions. In addition, DBC AS delivered the internal forces calculated in RFEM to the producer of prefabricated construction parts (concrete & steel).
