New Cairo Area is the extension of greater Cairo and it has a huge potential construction market. The school buildings are developed over a footprint area of 6,000 square metres and the remaining area of the land plot was carefully utilized to provide the children with spacious play-grounds, in addition to all the necessary outdoor sports facilities ranging from a football court to a tennis court. The school buildings also were constructed with our materials for energy saving purposes and hygiene standards to serve the wellbeing of our coming generations. In addition to the complexity of the ceiling designs there were high standard specifications, in particular the load-bearing which exceeds 5 times the boards’ weight and the fire and moisture resistant boards to be used in specific areas. Another challenging demand and the most important objective of the project was to achieve the planned design within the project time frame.
