The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department's ADAPT Programme.
The ADAPT Programme uses a professional external Project Manager to co-ordinate and drive the Design Team to achieve the best possible timeframe for the project through the stages of Architectural Planning to Tender and Construction.
The project is currently at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning – Stage 2(b) – Detailed Design, where the Design Team make the applications for all Statutory Approvals, and prepare the suite of tender documents.
All Statutory Approvals have been secured, and my department is currently reviewing the design team submission of the Stage 2(b) Report.
Upon completion of the review and subsequent approval, my Department will be in further contact with the school authority and design team.
