We have worked hard through December to rearrange the various office, classroom and work spaces at the project centre. In part, this work has been necessary to replace defective structures. But also we have put a lot of thought into making the project centre more functional, attractive and usable. This work is also part of our planning for future sustainability in the sense that with better classroom spaces and general facilities, the multi service cooperative will be able to improve the quality of the activities it offers and thus improve its ability to generate more income as well as maintaining its community programmes funded by donations.
preparing access to the new classroom in the lower area of the project centre
the kitchen will be extended by a little over one metre
the partition structure to separate access to the new lower area classroom from the main area classrooms
new metal gates to help secure the main classroom area when the site is not in use
the new classroom structure is of metal perlins which will also replace almost all the old timber roof structures
the floor structure of the new classoom area is designed mainly for the dance classes
raising the floor level also minimizes the possibility of future flood damage
the new classroom area is at the same level as the middle classroom area in the background
the new classroom area benefits from the shade of trees across its southern elevation
access to the new dispensary area
we have almost doubled the size of the old metal workshop, now used by the solar energy project
we are renewing the structure of the women's shelter facilities
the welders have almost finished the new roof structure for the extended kitchen
th new roof is going up mostly independent of the existing kitchen walls
the new roof span is over eight metres so we are using steel perlins with a thickness of an eighth of an inch
trees screen the kitchen area from the adjacent Pan American HIghway
work progresses quickly with two welders
the new work surface for the bakery which will be tiled
the door to the new dispensary area
new walls for the women's shelter
the new roof for the women's shelter
the new roof over our expanded storage area
