Environmental aspects
The project includes new buildings, extensions and renovations of educational buildings (including existing senior secondary schools). . The Directive 2011/92/EU does not specifically mention the need for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for buildings related to education, but it may be that some sub-projects can be regarded as urban renewal projects and might require an EIA (Annex II of the European Directive). This will be examined during the appraisal.
