The funds will go towards the construction of new girls and boys dormitory buildings, a dining hall, and finishing the ground floor of a new office/classroom block.

Construction Challenges encountered and addressed: Description Action Taken Classroom block The plinth walls, columns and some sections of the slab had developed major cracks a sign of structural failures Multipurpose Dining Hall Contractor instructed to demolish all failed sections and make good. A new ground beam was introduces where the plinth wall had shown structural failures According to the Site plan the structures crosses over the football pitch and walkway to the boys dormitory Design change of Roof structure from timber to steel is under consideration by the Client Relocated in an orientation line with the existing laboratory block The span of the Building is large and it would require double truss to support the roof. In turn this would over load the structure thus the Change to a light weight material The Contractor is under instruction to proceed with the original roof plan of timber truss.
