France: EIB And Brittany Region Sign Finance Contract For Upper Secondary School Construction And Refurbishment
Construction
With more than 40 real estate projects across Brittany’s four departments, the investment programme will benefit more than 30 000 students by 2028.
Educational facilities will be built, extended or refurbished over an area of more than 115 000 m2 as part of the plan to upgrade infrastructure, improve the accessibility, energy efficiency and climate resilience of schools (through the installation of solar panels), and purchase educational equipment.
The Brittany region owns 116 state upper secondary schools covering an area of nearly 2 million m2. It is stepping up its investments in these facilities in an effort to contribute to the green transition.
The latest real estate action plan currently in progress (2024-2027) has a budget of €390 million, meaning that the EIB will be financing almost half of it.
