Lyceum No. 12 in the city of Kovel, Volyn oblast, has reopened following a comprehensive energy-efficiency modernisation. It will improve learning conditions for more than 1,200 students and staff, the European Investment Bank (EIB) announced on 29 April.
The school building, constructed over 30 years ago, was fully renovated. The works included insulation of the façade and roof, replacement of windows and doors, and upgrades to heating and building systems, as well as improvements to accessibility and safety, including ramps and improvements to the surrounding area.
The upgrade of the school was financed by an EIB loan of €982,000.
“The EIB supports projects that deliver tangible improvements for communities,” said EIB Vice-President Karl Nehammer. “The modernisation of this school in Kovel shows how investments in energy efficiency can improve daily life, reduce costs and strengthen resilience at the local level.”
The school is the first completed project under the EIB’s Ukraine Public Buildings Energy Efficiency Programme, which supports the modernisation of over 140 buildings, including schools, hospitals, cultural centres and other public facilities, in over 70 communities across Ukraine.
