The school referred to by the Deputy formed part of a campus development, which included two primary schools, that was completed in 2015. Following a number of issues arising post-construction, there has been ongoing communication with the Design Team to determine and address the issues.
A representative of the Department met with the Design Team at the campus last year and, subsequent to recommendations, this was followed up by an engineering report from the Design Team. The report was recently received by my Department and a meeting will be arranged with the Design Team to ensure that remedies are advanced. In the meantime an instruction has issued to the Design Team to carry out an independent 3rdparty inspection of the roof and the Design Team has advised that this is to proceed shortly.
