Joshua Obadiah Williams Primary School set to reopen in January
The rebuilt Molineux school is about 90 per cent complete and will have smart whiteboards in every classroom.
MOLINEUX, St Kitts. The Joshua Obadiah Williams Primary School in Molineux is expected to reopen in January 2027, with construction now about 90 per cent complete.
Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Education Dr Geoffrey Hanley toured the site on Thursday to review progress and the work still outstanding.
Officials from the Public Works Department told him the main structure, including the roof and painting, is finished. Remaining work is largely cosmetic, along with some minor installations such as sinks and basins in the upstairs bathrooms.
The roof uses metal decking rather than conventional reinforced concrete slabs, which officials say offers fire-resistant properties. Plans for the school include smart whiteboards in every classroom, dedicated space for the deputy principal and a cafeteria.
"This school will be one of our newest primary schools," Dr Hanley said.
He thanked the contractors, engineers and labourers, as well as Molineux residents who helped to safeguard and monitor the site during construction.
