Greater Stockholm’s Tyresö municipality is growing and in 2018 the need for a new school became clear. Three years later, a new school was built by NCC Construction with capacity for 750 students in grades ranging from preschool to year nine. A large schoolyard was developed around the building to make spaces for play, movement and exercise.
Nola provided chairs, benches and tables from Broberg & Ridderstråle’s Parco series for installation throughout the outdoor areas.
