Amharc ar fhreagraThe joint major building project for the schools referred to by the Deputy is currently at the initial stage of Architectural Planning, Stage 1 – Preliminary Design, where the Design Team assess the site and current school buildings and prepare their initial sketch schemes. A preferred design option, including the scope and extent of works to be carried out, will be established during this early stage.
Following the Stage 1 Stakeholders meeting, the Stage 1 Addendum report was received from the Design Team.
The Department have recently completed their due diligence review and have issued comments to the Design Team for their consideration.
Once the Design Team have reverted to the Department in relation to the comments on the Stage 1 Addendum report, the school authorities will be advised of the further progression of the project.
