Restoration work is underway in the building of the Oriana lyceum, which was most heavily damaged by a Russian missile attack on December 29. All the damaged sections of walls and ceilings have been dismantled and construction waste is being removed. The next step is to build new walls.
Two weeks after the missile strike, the students of this school returned to their desks. About 300 windows and more than 100 internal doors were replaced by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation (HGBF), and all window and door slopes were restored with funds from the Norwegian Refugee Council.
The building where the primary school students studied was the most damaged. Significant destruction made it impossible to carry out reconstruction work quickly. The expertise took a long time, design and estimate documentation was prepared, and construction work began in the summer.
According to the lyceum’s principal, Iryna Koropetska, the building has now been dismantled, and reconstruction will begin. The contractors plan to build new walls and start finishing work by the beginning of the school year. Next week, specialists will also come to restore the heating system.
It should be noted that UAH 6.7 million was allocated from the reserve fund of the city budget to restore the Oriana lyceum.
