This project repaired the school’s Science lab, including renovation of the flooring and walls, and installation of six new 10′ workbenches with integrated gas and water lines.

New cement workbenches, with 20 sinks, were also built on both side walls.

After the room was completed, a TGUP Science Lab in a Box (SLaB) was installed. TGUP’s Brenda Birrell, the inventor of Save a Girl ™ was there for the commemoration. 

Below is the exterior of the existing Science lab building.

And the interior:

The sand has been delivered. Next will be ballast and cement. These materials will be used to repair the flooring and to build the concrete workbenches.

Concrete ballast and stones were delivered March 6th so construction can now begin.

Video of the room being gutted:

Room is cleared out and ready for construction of the workbenches. These large stones will be the base of the workbenches secured with cement that you can see being mixed.

The workbenches are taking shape along the side walls and down the center of the room.

The workbenches are being filled with cement.

Water line is being laid from the water tanks, buried in the ground, to the classroom.

Work benches are leveled and prepared for sinks and gas lines.

Sinks being installed.

Sinks are installed and water drainage completed.

This is as fine a high school Science lab as there is in Africa.  Now, on to installing the SLaB itself. 

Equipment and supplies arrive.
