Extension project awarded

A CONTRACT for phase two of new facilities at Vera’s Reyes Catolicos Infant and Primary School has been awarded to Obras y Servicios Publicos SA for a total of €1,332,119, the regional education department has announced.

The work, which is expected to take 12 months to complete, will benefit the school’s 700 pupils by providing them with a new canteen and classrooms.

Split into three storeys and built next to and in the same style as the first building, which has already been put to use, the new wing will consist of a canteen and bathrooms, a music room, computer room and two special education classrooms. 

There will also be specially-adapted disabled bathrooms on the ground floor, and 12 large and four small classrooms with their own bathrooms on the second and third floors.

It’s one of 128 state school projects in Andalucia as part of the Junta de Andalucia regional government’s €107 million 2016-2017 Educational Infrastructure Improvement Plan.
