Viskastrandsgymnasiet is in central Borås and consists of several buildings which are connected by covered passages with a total floor area of about 17,000 square metres. In addition to these, parts of the Vehicles programme are held in premises of c. 2,800 square metres on the Viared Industrial Estate just outside Borås.
The original premises of Viskastrandsgymnasiet date from 1877 and were used in the textile and engineering industries before they were converted for school purposes.
The architect decided to keep some of the old rough atmosphere of the old factory buildings and combine old and new architecture in a way that makes Viskastrandsgymnasiet look different from other schools.
