School opening in Kenyan slum: The very first PERI school provides opportunities for the future

The first school was officially opened as part of the PERI sustainability program, Kenya

The very first PERI school in Kenya opened its doors at the end of February 2024 for over 200 children. In Kibera, the largest slum in Nairobi, the first school in the PERI sustainability initiative “Building Sustainability” was built in less than a year. In collaboration with the non-profit start-up “Start Somewhere”, PERI developed what are known as TwistBlock Moulds for hollow concrete blocks, which were designed specifically for use in slums due to the simple and flexible manner in which they can be used. The new school building has created not only learning spaces, but also new local job opportunities.

The “Lighthouse 2.0” construction project has created new living space with 381 new flats in the purpose-built district of “Aarhus Ø”, not far from the centre of the city of the same name. With its impressive height of 142 metres, the building has been the tallest residential building in Denmark since its completion in 2022. The top floors are home to a restaurant and a roof terrace that is open to the public – with fantastic views of the harbour, the sea and the city. The project has now received an award for the “Best Tall Building” in the “100 to 199 metres” category from non-profit organisation, the “Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat” (CTBUH).
