Reconstruction of Lyceum №51 will be undertaken by the Reconstruction Service of the Mykolaiv Oblast

Lyceum No. 51, destroyed building

The reconstruction of the Mykolaiv Lyceum №51, which was destroyed during the Russian shelling, will be handled by the Service for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure in the Mykolaiv Region.

Oleksii Savchuk, director of the Capital Construction Department of the city council, reported this in a comment to NikVesti.

Currently, the management has announced repeated tenders for the development of project and estimate documentation for the reconstruction of the lyceum. They plan to spend 7.7 million hryvnias on these works, according to data from the public procurement system ProZorro.

The previous tender had to be canceled because it was necessary to make changes to the technical documentation, Oleksii Savchuk explained. The contractor will have to develop the project by June 30, 2024.

«In December 2023, we announced a procurement for the design of this lyceum, but during the procurement it became necessary to make changes to the technical task, which led to its re-announcement in 2024. Currently, the procurement process is ongoing, and the duration of the project is approximately five months. That is, we expect to receive the project documentation in the summer,» said the director of the Capital Construction Department.

In total, it is planned to build three main buildings: primary, middle and senior classes, Oleksii Savchuk said.

«Our task is not just to rebuild it as it was. This is a simple way, but it is not modern. We will follow the path of «build back better». That is, to rebuild better than it was. This will be a very modern project, which involves the construction of a complex of buildings. These are four-story, two-story and one-story buildings, which will be formed by age groups. The total area of the institution will be approximately 18,000 square meters and will be able to accommodate 1,500 students. That is, under all buildings there will be basements that will be used as shelters. There will be modern sports areas, a football field, a universal field for basketball and volleyball,» said Oleksii Savchuk.
