Reconstruction of educational establishments Close-up of the vocational college in the Northern Islands

0

The greater part of the budget planned by the Collectivity for the repair of educational establishments will be devoted to secondary establishments, more than 3.6 million euros.

The Lycée Professionnel des Iles du Nord, in Marigot, the Cité scolaire Robert Weinum in La Savane and the colleges of Mont des Accords, Quartier d'Orléans and Soualiga (Cul de Sac) which were extremely damaged by the hurricane, will be under construction all summer. The Soualiga college will not be rebuilt, some of its buildings still standing will be restored to house in the future decentralized services of the Community.

At the vocational school in the Northern Islands located in Concordia, the school year was particularly difficult. The establishment was strongly impacted by the passage of the hurricane: classrooms remained inaccessible throughout the school year, and the premises housing the professional workshops, too. In fact, the high school students had little school time dedicated to the practical part of their disciplines, the workshops being impractical. Similarly for the food, hospitality and catering disciplines, the theoretical courses replaced the practical courses for a large part of the school year.

Emergency works and protective measures were carried out in the last quarter of 2017.

The closing works started in March were completed in May. Significant work to repair the ceilings and partitions began in early July and the end of work is scheduled for the last week of August. The repair of the doors and windows will end during the month of July.

Very heavy repairs to the CDI and the multipurpose room will be carried out in September.

For the refurbishment of this school, which includes 87 classrooms and premises for the various workshops (mechanics, carpentry and carpentry, electricity, kitchen and catering room, etc.), the Collectivity has committed the sum of 1.8 million euros. Of this amount, 1.5 million euros will be devoted to the CDI and the multipurpose room.

To remember

Amount of work undertaken: 1 euros (out of the 800 million committed for the work of 000 schools).

Beginning of the roadworks : Last quarter 2017

End of the works : September 2018

Main works: Roof of the whole establishment, CDI and multipurpose room, fence, aluminum joinery doors and windows, partitions and false ceiling.
