The city council decided today at the meeting to change the construction schedule of Vuoksenniska school so that the school center will be completed in May 2019 and put into use at the beginning of the autumn semester 2019.

Last fall, when discussing the future of Virasoja school, the city council ruled that the expansion of the Vuoksenniska school center would be completed at the beginning of the fall semester 2018. The change in schedule was partly influenced by the service network solution made in the fall (qv 24.10.2016), with which the scope and possible phasing of the new building of the Vuoksenniska school center had to be resolved. When discussing the matter in the spring, the welfare board and the board reached a solution, according to which the new building will be implemented in one step for the students of Virasoja and Kaukopää schools. In addition, the facilities required by pre-school education are taken into account.

For the construction projects of school centers and kindergartens included in the service network solution, the city government established a steering group in March, whose task is to supervise, guide and monitor construction projects and their finances, and to report to the city government on significant changes. The chairman of the steering group is the chairman of the city board.

The steering group discussed the situation of the new building of the Vuoksenniska school center at its meetings in the spring of 2017 and expressed its concern about the tight schedule of the project. The steering group wanted to ensure both high-quality pedagogical design and the time required for high-quality construction. In addition, attention was paid to the space efficiency of the new building and the calculation criteria were specified so that they had to include all the school's facilities. As a result, it was decided to present to the city government as a solution that the plans for the school would be completed in September this year, construction would start in February next year and the school would be completed in May 2019. The school would be put into use when the school starts in August 2019.

The city council discussed the issue today (May 29.5.2016, 2019) in its meeting and decided that the new Vuoksenniska school center should be completed in such a way that the renovated teaching facilities will be put into use at the beginning of the fall semester of XNUMX.
