Project 4
COLEGIO DISCIPULOS DE CRISTO
Serving 269 students, grades: Pre-K to 12th
Project Overview
The library is in need of expansion and for this the adjacent classroom has to be sacrificed. The Technology Learning Center (Computer Laboratory) has 22 computers and holds 22 students at a time. Groups of higher number of students need to couple up to work. It is envisioned to expand this facility sacrificing the Director’s Office to accommodate larger groups and more comfortable with ample moving space. This area will need more computers (8), tables (4), chairs (8) and technological instruments such as Graphic Drawing Tablet Board kits for each computer (30). There is a metal staircase that connects the three story building actually closed due to safety. This staircase needs to be reconstructed in either metal or concrete and provide students access to the three levels since the Science laboratory is in the first floor and high school students are in the third floor. This staircase also provides a second emergency escape way. Since a classroom and the Director’s Office will be used in the expansion of the Library and Computer Lab, a third floor needs to be constructed for five new classrooms and relocate the Director’s Office. Special events, conferences, morning devotionals, chapels and special classes are offered at the auditorium. There is a need to acquire 250 resin chairs to accommodate all the students at one time.
Project Description
Expansion of the library, new addition of a third level for classrooms, computers and technology equipment for expanded Technology Learning Center and resin chairs for the auditorium is the immediate concern.
