THE Abu Dhabi West School project is on track for completion in August 2011, according to the construction company Sammon Group.

The school is among five prestigious school projects awarded to the group by Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), as part of the Abu Dhabi Future School Programme.

These projects are located at Al Towaya, Al Jahly and Al Khazna in Al Ain and at Al Khatem and Abu Dhabi West.
When completed, Sammon Group would have delivered one million sq ft of state-of-the-art school accommodation for ADEC in time for the new academic year.

These schools have been designed to achieve an Estidama 3 Pearl Rating, and incorporate sustainability features such as energy-efficient air-conditioning systems, water-conservation devices, PV (photovoltaic) panels for solar energy, solar panels for water heating, intelligent lighting controls, and vertical gardens.

Sammon Group’s projects include Dubai Modern High School, Gems Wellington Academy, Gems Millennium School, Sharjah and Our Own English High School, Al Warqaa.

Phase One of the Abu Dhabi Future School Programme involves the construction of 15 new schools across Abu Dhabi and is part of ADEC’s 10-year strategic plan to transform the education system.

Miceál Sammon, founder and chairman of Sammon, Group said: “Sammon Group is proud to be collaborating with ADEC on the Abu Dhabi Future School Programme, and is looking forward to delivering five state-of-the-art schools on schedule for the 2011 academic year.”
