Earlier this year Hems\u00f6 and the City of Helsinki signed a 20-year lease agreement for a new school and daycare centre to be built in northern Pasila. Hems\u00f6 is responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of the site, having won the City of Helsinki\u2019s competitive tender. Fira will act as the main contractor for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fira has supported Hems\u00f6 with design management since the tender phase. In close collaboration with all parties involved, practical solutions have been developed to ensure that the new school in northern Pasila will serve the local community effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Fira\u2019s way of working aligns well with Hems\u00f6\u2019s values. We want to be a responsible developer, and part of that is understanding the expectations of the people who will use the buildings. We\u2019ve had a great and meaningful collaboration from the start of the tender process, and together with a diverse team, we\u2019ve found solutions that will make everyday life at the new school run smoothly. The building itself will be delivered with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental aspects, says Hems\u00f6\u2019s Project Manager Kirsi Viheri\u00e4ranta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building in Postipuisto is scheduled to be completed by the start of the autumn term in 2027. The school and daycare centre will have space for a total of 850 children\u2014200 in daycare and 650 in primary school. The three-storey building will have a total floor area of approximately 7,200 m\u00b2. In addition to serving children, the facilities will also be available for community use by residents of northern and western Pasila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building, which will meet energy class A standards, will use geothermal heating, air-to-water heat pumps, and solar panels. The project also aims to achieve a BREEAM Excellent environmental certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The school in northern Pasila is an important and exciting project. We\u2019ve had excellent collaboration with Hems\u00f6 for a long time. Fira has strong experience in building learning environments, both in new construction and renovation projects, says Panu Pohjola<\/strong>, Business Director, Commercial Construction at Fira.
