«To expand to grow: is the meaning of this project,» said Frederic Reynaud, Director. The old buildings bordering the College including the « Bar des inquiets » were bought to bring out a functional equipment. 6 new classes welcome the 6th Grade Students, a Music education Room is equipped with instruments, a Plastic Arts Room will be attended by more than 500 young people, a new layout of the pediment is made for the sport.
We also wanted to incorporate a real “Astronomy” pole open to 860 students, to further highlight the Astro-Club Lourdais, with a brand new digital Planetarium, unique in France in a school, under its dome of 5m in diameter, an Educational Room, and an Observation Deck. The total investment of the real estate transaction is 2.7 M.
Bishop Brouwet, for his part, welcomed the expansion of the establishment and congratulated all the teams.
«The culmination of such a project,» commented Chantal Devaux, delegate of Guardianship, allows us to recall what drives us in the mission we carry in the service of young people and their families. Because, before any real estate project, never lose sight of the meaning of our mission which is based in the educational intuition of our founder, Jean Marie de La Mennais: “We have to form the whole man, to form him for himself, for his own happiness, for his family, for society, for the earth, and for eternity.».
