AF Gruppen to build student housing and commercial premises for Diakonhjemmet Foundation

Diakonhjemmet Foundation has awarded AF Gruppen the contract for the construction of Plot D at Campus Diakonhjemmet in Oslo. The contract will be executed as a design and build contract and has a value of NOK 409 million, excluding VAT.

The project comprises the construction of a multi-purpose building with a gross floor area of approximately 9,500 m2. The building will include office and commercial premises as well as 175 student housing units. Plot D is located adjacent to VID Specialized University, the future Fridtjof Nansen Upper Secondary School, and the new Diakonhjemmet metro station, which AF Gruppen is already constructing for Diakonhjemmet Foundation. The contract will complete the development of Diakonhjemmet Hage.

The building will be constructed in accordance with Passive House standards and achieve Energy Class A. The project aims to obtain BREEAM-NOR Excellent environmental certification.

AF Gruppen has participated in the development of the project through an early contractor involvement phase in close collaboration with the client. Construction is scheduled to commence in February 2027, with expected completion in the first quarter of 2029.

"We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with Diakonhjemmet Foundation. Through the collaborative development phase, we have jointly developed sustainable, cost-effective and buildable solutions. We now look forward to delivering the final building in Diakonhjemmet Hage," says Tormod Solberg, EVP Building at AF Gruppen.
