For its part, the Instituto Comercial Bolívar, which occupies another part of the building, will have 24 theoretical classrooms, eight for each level, 16 laboratories, a library, a maximum classroom, in addition to other facilities contemplated, in the same way, in the general basic school.
The construction project includes the demolition of the current structures and the construction of an administration area, another for two classrooms for kindergarten and four for preschool, as well as three floors.
The campuses will have administrative offices, laboratories, a teachers’ room, a dining room, elevators, a library, an infirmary, a psycho-pedagogical office, sports areas, theoretical, support and preschool classrooms.
