The school referred to by the Deputy is currently at an early stage of architectural planning. The brief for this project provides for a new 6 classroom school plus ancillary accommodation totalling 1030m2.
The architectural element of this project will be handled by my Department's in-house architect, with external professionals making up the remainder of the Design Team.
A planning and briefing meeting has been arranged for Wednesday November 8th. Following on from this meeting the Design Team will prepare a stage 1/2 submission (Site Suitability & Outline Sketch Scheme).
Progression of the project to tender and construction will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
