PALMA
Renovation progress
The property will undergo a thorough and respectful renovation during the latter part of 2023 and the first half of 2024 to maintain its gothic feel ready for a September start. The exterior will be thoughtfully restored to its’ original condition while the interior will be transformed into efficient modern educational facilities; while retaining most of the particularly beautiful interior details. Follow the renovation process to a new modern school campus starting on September 9, 2024.
May
The renovation work continues according to schedule. Around mid-July, the school management will take over the responsibility for the premises, including furnishing and installing all teaching-related equipment. During the past week, the patio and the outdoor dining area have been tiled, and paving of the newly constructed footpath from the rear entrance of the school is also in progress.
An advanced system for ventilation, heating and cooling of the school's premises, including classrooms and corridors, was installed during the spring. The aim is to maintain a pleasant indoor learning environment and temperature throughout the year, for the maximum comfort of students and teachers
On the building's second floor, there is a special corridor called the “Clausura”. It was used by the nuns for many years, for silence, reflection and contemplation. We've chosen to preserve the original interior details, such as this one, to honour the building's rich cultural heritage and narrative, as it embarks on this new journey with a fresh purpose.
April
Renovations are also developing according to schedule. The classrooms are now starting to be finished with windows, shutters and ceilings. Corridors and toilets are also now largely finished. External facades are cleaned and refreshed. The shutters have been installed. In mid-May, we expect 90% of the renovation work to be completed. So we have a good margin before school starts on September 9.
March
The renovation work continues unabated - and we are keeping to the schedule. Installation of windows and ceilings in classrooms and corridors is now underway. Pation is undergoing a refresh. The base for the football pitch is in place and markings have been made for the avenue of trees to be planted from one of the entrances to the school campus.. The sundial from ancient times has been made visible. Two of our teachers have inspected the renovation work in view of the planning of the teaching which is now taking place in parallel.
February
The renovation project proceeds apace, with completion anticipated well in advance of our deadline. We therefore want to be very clear, the building will be ready when the kids proudly enter their school on September 9th.
Most of the classrooms are now largely finished. When it comes to ventilation heating and AC systems, they are also in place and have been thoroughly chosen to match the standard of top quality that the building will stand for.
As for the outdoor grounds, we are developing in a pace that feels equally assuring having drainage, outside electricity and sport courts ready to roll ahead of schedule.
