Construction of our new campus is well under way and running to
schedule. According to the construction
timetable, the structure will be finished by May, interior and
exterior decoration by August, and we will be able to move in for
classes in September.
The
new campus is located on West Wuding Road in Changning District,
near the border with Jing’an. It is a beautiful
historical preservation area, and is surrounded by buildings from
the 1920s and 1930s. Our new campus is designed
to match the traditional style of its surroundings, while
incorporating modern facilities to meet our goals of providing an
international standard of education.
Located
on the site of the former Shengwu School, we are making every
effort to use existing site resources. Shengwu
School accommodated 1500 students, while we will only enroll 600 on
the same site. This will give us the space to
guarantee a high proportion of green area, room for student
activities and first-rate teaching facilities.
Specialist facilities will include an exhibition hall, gymnasium,
swimming pool, football pitch, domestic science room, well-equipped
library, science labs and auditorium.
The classrooms will be decorated with environmentally friendly
materials, and we will ensure that all furniture and equipment has
been aired thoroughly before students move in, to ensure a healthy
environment for students.
The
project is being supervised by a very experienced Project
Management company. Also, in the planning and
construction stages of our new campus, we are delighted to have
enjoyed the help of YK Pao School parents who spontaneously offered
their experience in construction-related fields to support our
project team. Their advice and time has been
invaluable. We would also like to thank Philip
Sohmen, Co-founder of the School and project leader, for all his
hard work.
