This public-private partnership covers the financing, design and construction of the campus, for an amount of €44 million (excl. VAT), as well as operation of the facility for a 28-year period, for a total amount of €43 million (excl. VAT). The operation includes the demolition of the 5,300 m² of existing buildings, dating back to 1968, and the construction of a new 21,000 m² complex of buildings, which will be capable of receiving roughly 6,000 students when fully complete. The new complex will consist of 8 lecture theatres (one of which will double as a 500-seat auditorium), teaching rooms, offices, a new library (4,500 m²) and a sports hall (1,500 m²). The demolition works will begin in September. All the teaching rooms will be available for the start of the 2011-2012 academic year, while all the common facilities will be brought into service in 2013. At peak periods, the works will occupy up to 130 employees. Later, roughly twenty employees will be involved in operating the Centre. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
