Assessment of the building
Built in hard materials on a relatively resistant soil.
The building has sustained serious damage of its roof, floors and partial walls. Additionally, latrines are inoperable because full. The first phase of work will consist of demolishing and removing the roof structure and covering, two support beams and floor in all rooms. New wells will be built for new latrines.
