The project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery and it has appointed a design team.
My Department has received the Stage 1 architectural report and is currently under review by my Department's Professional and Technical staff. Once the review is complete, the outcome will be communicated to the school authority in due course. It is too early to provide an expected completion date for this project at this early stage of the architectural process and in advance of the necessary statutory approvals.
