A new dormitory is being built in Debrecen

The participation phase of the public procurement procedure of the Ministry of Construction and Transport, which was announced for the construction of a new dormitory of the Mechwart András Mechanical and Informatics Technical School, was successful. Twelve companies applied for the work, and all twelve were invited to submit bids by the ministry.

The Mechwart András Mechanical and Informatics Technical School located on Külsővásártér is planned to be expanded with a new dormitory, which will have 252 beds with 126 dormitory rooms.

The underground garage planned for the basement level of the dormitory, as well as the ground-floor utility entrance, will be accessible from the backyard, from the neighboring plot, and from the back garden side of the building. The new dormitory will have five floors (basement, ground floor, and 4 upper floors), with a useful floor area of ​​9,505 square meters. It will include several teacher rooms, a 54-seat lecture hall, and two elevators.

In order to create the Debrecen automotive center, three Debrecen secondary schools would be developed (all three participate in BMW’s dual training program), and Mayor Laszló Papp and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán recently agreed on providing the necessary state funds for this.

There is also fierce competition for the expansion project of Beregszászi

The participation phase of the public procurement launched by the Ministry of Construction and Transport for the renovation and expansion of the Beregszászi Pál Technical School building of the Debrecen Vocational Training Center has recently been successfully completed.

A total of eleven companies applied for the work; two did not meet the requirements, while the remaining nine were invited by the ministry to submit bids. The tender documentation recalls that the Beregszászi Pál Technical School and Dormitory is located at 17 Jerikó Street, where energy modernization was completed in January 2020; thus, the current development aims to expand the institution with new workshops and to renovate and modernize the interior of the existing building.

The winning company will be responsible for the construction of two new workshops (with high ceilings and car parking). The extension will have a planned floor area of 578 square meters and will include a toilet and changing block, as well as new classrooms.

The ministry received a precisely defined room program from the institution regarding the transformation of the existing building. The floor coverings and windows and doors will be replaced in most of the classrooms, and the equipment will be adapted to the new function. The planned renovation will affect the corridors, staircases, sanitary blocks, swimming pool changing rooms, water engineering, gym changing rooms, and the auditorium, and the buffet in the restaurant will also be expanded. New parking spaces will also be created, one of which will be equipped with an electric charging facility.

Brassai is also being renovated and expanded

Just as in the cases of Mechwart and Beregszászi, the first phase of the public procurement process has now also been completed for the Brassai Sámuel Technical School, which the Ministry of Construction and Transport announced for the renovation and expansion of the school building.

Twelve companies have expressed their intention to participate in the project, and eleven have been invited to submit bids.

According to the tender documentation, the task will be to expand the building at 3 Víztorony Street. During the construction, the existing building will also have to be modified (creating a larger teacher’s room, rationalizing office space, expanding the canteen space at the expense of the kitchen space, and eliminating the existing staircase), and new workshops and several theoretical and language classrooms will have to be created in the new building section based on the modified local building regulations. The workshops of the building section to be demolished will have to be replaced in the new building section, and a gym will be built in place of the existing sports field.
