The school for 1200 students is located in a multi-ethnic area in Oslo. The project is innovative in several ways.

Modern education and flexible physical conditions have been central to the design. Teaching occurs principally through projects and teamwork, as well as self-study groups that require room types and sizes that differ from those normally found in conventional schools. As a result, most teaching areas are in larger open areas for common use, with adjoining flexible work and seminar rooms of various sizes. The solution has led to a significantly more efficient use of floor area through the omission of corridors and fewer walls, dividers and doors.
