I wish to advise the Deputy that the actual cost of constructing a General Purpose (GP) Room for a Primary School and a PE Hall for a Post Primary School can vary depending on a number of factors which can include, but not limited to the size and scope of the construction contract the GP/PE Halls are being constructed under, market conditions, site constraints, planning conditions, procurement method, etc.
Typical costs for the provision of GP rooms and PE halls are as follows:
- GP room for a 4 classroom primary school is €510,000;
- GP room for a 8 to 16 classroom primary school is €690,000;
- GP room for a 24 classroom primary school is €1,360,000;
Average cost estimate to build a PE Hall including Changing Rooms and Fitness Suite in the following school types:
450 to 1,000 pupil post primary school : €3.55m
Up to 449 pupils post primary school : €2.6m.
