Overview
By 2050, the African continent will be home to 1 billion children and adolescents aged 0-18. Education is the most effective investment in the fight against poverty, helping to improve socioeconomic development.
NMSI’s construction methodology provides functional, robust structures at low cost, and benefits from economies of scale with modular, replicable design principles that ensure low long-term operating and maintenance costs.
Schools are flexibly designed in discussion with the client, with key facilities for education in mind. Classrooms are modern and spacious; with the use of a steel frame construction allowing schools to be either single or double storey structures, depending upon requirements. All schools can be delivered with solar power and boreholes making them off grid, thereby increasing access to education in rural communities.
NMSI is currently working to deliver a rural educational facility programme across West Africa, targeting remote areas where there is currently little education provision.
Key Aims:
- Project scoping and definition
