This project involves the extensive refurbishment of the existing primary school. The project is intended to offer a modern, accessible, and comfortable educational spaces for our children and educators.
The Ta’ Kerċem Primary School, which forms part of the Gozo College, is housed in a two-storey building that was built in 1921. The building is spread over approximately 1,200 square meters.
In addition to the refurbishment of the school from both the inside and outside, the project will include the redesign of open and recreational spaces, as well as the creation of a new space for the teaching of extra-curricular subjects. Through the project we will be addressing the accessibility of the building to be in accordance with the law. The recreational areas will be upgraded to include non-slip concrete surfaces and artificial turf.
As part of the project, we will be installing new services, such as lighting, water, sewerage, security cameras, internet connection, an alarm, and fire safety services.
In the building we will also be introducing energy efficient features as requested by law.
To get the job done at a fast pace and not put children and workers at risk, teaching will be done in temporary classrooms on the site of the existing school. This will be done so that the pupils will continue receiving their education in the same school environment that they are used to.
This project will be done with a capital investment of approximately €3.2 million.
