History
During the 1970s the city of Trondheim was growing, and since Heimdal was growing relatively fast, it became natural to place an Upper Secondary School there. Opened 1 August 1977, there were 434 students that year, but over the years it quickly grew to approximately 700 students. In the middle of the 80s there was a total of around 900 students on the school (year 1985/86). Since the school could not support that many students, Tiller Upper Secondary School was established in the area.[2]
New School building
The school is today housed in the original building from 1977 but it plans to move to a new building that is under construction. The new building will be around 25 000 m3 and house 1020 students. The new school is planned to be finished December 2017.[3]
