Skanska Husfabrikken has built student housing for the Arctic Student Welfare Organization of Norway on Svalbard.

The project consists of two similar blocks, built and assembled from modules at Elvesletta outside Longyearbyen. The 403 modules were transported by boat from Husfabrikken in Steinkjer to Svalbard. Once all units are in use, the student housing will accommodate 280 students. The project covers approximately 9,000 square meters and was completed in time for the start of the school year 2021.

What makes this delivery unique is that Jotne Ankers installed the interior stairs while the building was still in modular form at the factory in Steinkjer.

Jotne Ankers has delivered the following for the project:

- Spiral staircases with landings, outdoor

- Straight staircases, both indoor and outdoor

- Ramps

- Bar railings

- Ankers and Fornebu type railings with single handrail

- Ankers and Fornebu type railings with double handrails

- Single and double handrails on interior walls, mounted on studs
