FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT UPDATE

This summer, over 35 projects are underway across ISG, led by our operations and facilities team in collaboration with contractors. These updates are focused on improving learning environments, expanding capacity for student enrollment, and getting ready to welcome new and returning families in August. Here is a snapshot of the work on each campus:

Dhahran Campus (ASD and BSD)

  1. Construction and capacity upgrades, including newly renovated areas and additional classroom partitioning.

  2. Learning environment upgrades, such as new student furniture and gym floor replacements.

  3. Campus safety enhancements, such as emergency door installations and security bollards.

  4. Facility improvements, i.e new carpet for Sixth Form spaces, fresh pool grouting and courtyard running track repairs.

  5. Sustainability and space planning, with car shade structure installations and upgraded recycling bins.

ISG Dammam

  1. Ground floor renovations are on track for completion in early August.

  2. Tile replacement across multiple classrooms is nearing completion.

  3. Waterproofing of the roof is underway to ensure the building is protected for the long term.

  4. Kitchen modernization has begun, with renovations, electrical upgrades, and new appliances scheduled in phases to provide for a full lunch program next school year.

ISG Jubail

  1. Technology infrastructure (network/Wifi, service, and phones) to better support learning and daily communication with parents.

  2. Playground equipment installation to replace the old playground equipment and repair the EPDM surface where it has been damaged.
