Area of extension (Gross floor area, m²)	1,812 + ventilation engine room	2,284	2,233
Technical level of the extension	*	**	***
Cost	*	**	***
Advantages	Functionality of the day nursery facilities Minor renovation needs in the existing classrooms The yard of the day nursery is quieter than the current yard as it is further away from the road, and particle emissions levels are lower	Functionality of the natural sciences, home economics, handcraft and fine art facilities Possibility of building demanding facilities in a way that offers better moisture performance than currently	Practical and safe service transport Functionality of the natural sciences and home economics classrooms Possibility of building demanding facilities in way that offers better moisture performance than currently
Downsides	Delivery of the lunches to the day nursery The service vehicles often drive through the yard, where the pupils spend time Another kitchen and dining room in the extension	Particle emissions and noise in the yard of the day nursery Loud noise from the dining hall being conveyed into the facilities of the day care centre The service vehicles often drive through the yard, where the pupils spend time Five units of day care instead of the required six units.
