Amharc ar fhreagraThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy will be delivered under my Department's ADAPT Programme.
The Project Manager has visited the school and is currently arranging site surveys for all projects on this ADAPT Programme including this school.
The Project Manager has begun initial engagement with my Department's Consultancy Frameworks in respect of all the projects on this ADAPT Programme and it is anticipated that the Design Team procurement process will be initiated shortly, when an Invitation to Tender will issue to those potential Design Team Consultants.
Upon appointment, the Design Team will proceed to Stage 1 of Architectural Planning – Preliminary Design, where the Design Team will assess the site and current school buildings and prepare their initial sketch schemes. A preferred design option, including the scope and extent of works to be carried out will be established during this early stage.
