Sharjah completes Mehathab School project in a record 60 days

A desert area covering more than 30,000 square metres has been transformed into an educational complex in just 60 days. Sharjah’s Directorate of Public Works says the Mehathab School project now combines a school, kindergarten, nursery, and a range of educational, health, cultural, and sports facilities.

The project was completed under the directives of Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah. The directorate described the work as an example of the emirate’s ability to turn a development vision into reality at record speed, with teams working around the clock for 1,440 hours.

The complex includes an administration building with seven offices, a meeting hall, and a training room. It also has a medical department with a clinic and isolation room, creating health services within the school itself.

The kindergarten and nursery building can accommodate 150 children and includes six classrooms, a library, a multipurpose yard, staff and administrative rooms, a doctor’s room, a kitchen, and toilets. A separate building for grades one through four can serve 250 students and includes 10 classrooms, along with similar academic, administrative, medical, and support facilities.

The directorate presented Mehathab School as a model that brings education, healthcare, sports, and the arts together. Its message was clear: Sharjah views investment in education as investment in the future, and wants the project’s speed to be part of that statement.
