The project for the school to which the Deputy refers will consist of the construction of a new 24 classroom school of approximately 3,562sq. m. with 3 new ball courts and 2 junior play areas. It is currently at stage 3 of architectural planning. Following on from a review of a revised stage 3 submission, additional Mechanical and Electrical information was requested from the Design Team. When a response to this has been received, officials in my Department will evaluate the documentation.
The project attracts a band 2 rating and, as with all large scale building projects, progression through to the construction phase will considered on an on-going basis both in the context of the band rating assigned to the project and in the context of the Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
