SOCOTEC contributes to the development of education in Colombia
A step forward in Colombia's educational infrastructure.
Completion of the Simón Bolívar Technical Commercial Educational Institution project in the municipality of Villa Rica, thanks to the active participation of SOCOTEC as project auditor, in collaboration with the BAC UG21 Consortium.
With this delivery, there are now 11 schools that have been completed as part of the educational projects in which SOCOTEC has participated in Colombia. The new educational headquarters represent a significant step forward in the National Education Infrastructure Plan and will contribute to the development of the region.
The incorporation of 36 new classrooms, together with spaces for technology, administrative areas and food services, guarantees a quality education for the students of the Simon Bolivar Technical Commercial Educational Institution.

Engineering that materialises the development of educational infrastructures in Colombia
The project, with a total investment of $9,522 million, was carried out in several phases. SOCOTEC carried out the intervention work, which included the architectural design, the necessary engineering, as well as the improvement and reinforcement of the structure of the existing school building. In addition, it focused on the completion and adaptation of the restrooms, classrooms and compliance with the 45.95 school construction standard. An additional staircase was also built to improve accessibility.

This project reflects SOCOTEC's commitment to improving the country's educational infrastructure, as evidenced in the city of Popayán, where three schools have been built. An example of this is the Tomas Cipriano Mosquera Educational Institution, which now has nine new classrooms, a dining room and school kitchen, 17 bathrooms, and a recreational area, benefiting more than a thousand students.
This initiative aims to expand its scope to benefit more than 1,320 children in elementary and middle school in the region, another step towards a promising future for education in the department of Cauca and in Colombia.
