Minister for Public Works François Bausch presented the corresponding draft bill to the responsible parliamentary commission.
The new building will be located in Erpeldang-sur-Sûre, about 800 metres outside of the town itself. The secondary school is currently spread across a number of buildings in Ingeldorf and Diekirch.
The new building is expected to have space for approximately 1,200 full-time students as well as about 540 students in vocational training. Current plans include 47 classrooms, 13 specialised rooms, five labs, and 24 workshops.
The budget is set at €153 million. Until the final project is concluded, a temporary building for about 450 students at the same location is supposed to take in some of the pupils from the other schools.
