Beijing AIDI School: Library and student lounges
Helen Jiang: In the second half of the project implementation, we ask the responsible authorities to inspect what we have already done so far. This is very important to avoid an unpleasant surprise later. If everything complies with the regulations, we can continue and ask the authorities to come back at the final stage to do a final inspection. That is the ideal process.
Therdsiddhi Hoprasartsuk-Pellaumail: Health and Safety requirements are key to Educational Projects. Therefore, we always schedule air quality tests before moving in of the furniture, and another one after the furniture has been moved in. We want to make sure that the students not only find a nice new learning environment, but also a healthy one. With the strict control of construction material VIRTUARCH implements in its projects, we have not had one single case where air tests have not been passed when construction works were completed. We have experienced in our projects that the far bigger risk was that furniture was moved in later which resulted in an increased contamination of air quality.
