The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is completing Stage 2(a) of the Architectural Planning process. Stage 2(a) is the Developed Design Stage. All school building projects are required to adhere to my Departments Design Team Procedures and to all current statutory building regulations. The school project to which the Deputy refers is no exception.
Following the Stage 2(a) Stakeholder's meeting which was held on the 30th November 2016, the ETB and its Design Team were requested to submit a Stage 2(a) addendum addressing issues which arose at the meeting. This addendum was submitted by the ETB on the 22nd December 2016 and is currently under review by my Department.
Upon successful completion of Stage 2(a) the project will progress to complete Stage 2(b) - Detailed Design, which includes the applications for statutory approvals and the preparation of Tender Documents.
The project is included on the 6 year construction programme 2016-21 announced on 17th November 2015.
