The long awaited state of the art Shs24bUganda Tourism School, commenced in 2018, will soon be handed over to the government of Uganda following the completion of physical works currently standing at 89 per cent.
During a site tour over the weekend, Mr. Bernard Muhangi, the spokesperson for the company in charge of the facility’s construction stated that; “We are now focused on achieving practical completion of the project as soon as possible while maintaining the highest quality standards in construction using high quality materials and very skilled manpower to satisfy our customer requirements.”
According to Bernard, the grand school facility will have a double storied reinforced concrete framed hotel building with two training kitchens and restaurants, a laundry block, two gate houses, a power house and a garbage collection house among other state of the art additions..
Government has so far paid one certificate owing to the progress of the project, which is 88.28 per cent financial and 89 per cent physical.
“We are in the process of concluding documentation for the second phase, which shall include the construction of one additional floor to the hotel block with all electrical and mechanical reticulation,” Mr Muhangi added.
There have been complaints that additional floor finishing have been delayed but Mr Muhangi said these have been different within the work time frame of the second phase.
During the tour, workers were partitioning, roofing and shuttering while some were working on external and external finishes, mechanical and electrical installations.
Mr Muhangi said most of the pending works are dependent on the commencement of phase II of the project, which include the construction of one additional floor to the hotel block with all electrical and mechanical reticulation.
The project was funded by the International Development Association.
