The completion works for the new IES Jaume I in Burriana are progressing well, with particular attention to the wing designated for training modules, as well as the gymnasium and cafeteria. Currently, the various vocational training workshops are easily recognizable, notably the large workshops for fallas artists, and the gymnasium and cafeteria spaces are fully discernible.
Current tasks involve constructing facades and interior walls with facing bricks, and installing the framework for windows and exterior sunshades. The former janitor's house has been demolished, and the ground floor slabs of both wings (baccalaureate and vocational training) have been executed to improve rainwater drainage.
Administratively, the Burriana town council has registered invoices for the work certifications of the new institute, under the Plan Edificant. These invoices cover the material execution work carried out by Orthem Servicios y Actuaciones Ambientales, S.A.U., and the site management, installations, and health and safety coordination by Santatecla Arquitectos, S.L.
This center, with a budget exceeding 22 million euros, will feature 24 ESO classrooms, 6 Baccalaureate classrooms, and 7 vocational training classrooms, in addition to a sports area. The completion, scheduled for the 2027-2028 academic year, is a top priority for the municipal government and the Generalitat Valenciana, as approximately 1,200 students are currently studying in provisional facilities. The new building will be notable for its energy efficiency and sustainability.
“"The progress of these works brings us one day closer to settling a historical debt with the students and their families, who have been studying in temporary classrooms for too long."
“"This government team has maximally accelerated the timelines to see the future workshops and classrooms being built, creating an institute worthy of the families and teachers."
