DPS-MIS to have its second campus in Al Wukair

DOHA: At a landmark event held at the campus of DPS-Modern Indian School at Al Wakrah on Tuesday, the management of the school signed a contract with leading construction contractors, Al Muftah Group, to construct its second campus in Al Wukair. 

The signing ceremony of this contract was witnessed by all the partners of the school and was signed by Aisha bint Mohamed bin Hammam Al Abdulla, the Patron of the School, and the Managing Director of Al Muftah Group, Ibrahim Al Muftah. 

Also presiding over the ceremony were the President of the School, Hasan Chougule and the Vice-President Yasir Nainar and the Contracting Division Manager of Al Muftah Group VS Manangi and also the Finance Director V K Choudhry. 

The ceremony marked a major milestone in the history of DPS-MIS, which started its humble operations in Al Thumama in the year 2001. The school later moved to its current school campus in Al Wakrah in the year 2012. 

However, soon after moving into the new campus the school has been running to full capacity and there continues to be a long waiting list of students seeking admission to the school. The management hence, took yet another bold step to invest an additional fund to build a second campus in Al Wukair to provide quality education to more students in the country. 

The new building design is similar to that of the existing campus of DPS-MIS and consists of a 22000 sqm academic block, a 1300 sqm multipurpose hall and a full size athletic track and sports field. It also has basement and above the ground parking facilities for more than 200 vehicles including the school buses. 

Located in a plot of land measuring 32000 sqm in Al Wukair, the second campus is bigger in size than the current campus of DPS-MIS that is located in a 21000 sqm plot. Doha Bank remains the financing partner and Qatar Design Consortium remains the building architects for the second campus of the school as much as they were for the first campus.
