We are thrilled to share with our supporters the tentative design of the future Shree Bhumimata School. Local project staff are still in the process of ironing out several details, but we are too excited not to share what we have so far!
As you know, Architects Without Borders (ASF Nepal) is one of our project partners.
ASF Nepal is acting as technical assistants and has been contributing their expertise in architecture, engineering and anti-seismic building to this project. Given the ever-present risk of earthquakes in Nepal, anti-seismic planning is extremely important and we are very fortunate to have ASF Nepal on our team.
The drawings you will see below depict a two-storey school, with enough classrooms to house all 250+ students, and then some. Of course, these designs have been revised many times, and are based on countless consultations with school staff, the surrounding community, government officials, environmental experts, local engineers, and other project partners.
As is common with construction projects, the cost of completing the school has increased since the initial quote. We thank you for your continued support so that we can absorb these costs without delaying project completion.
Thank you!
