Summary
Initially, in 1991, the 4 story-dormitory was planned only as a temporary accommodation for refugees. Upon the requested inspection in 2002 by the Department of Migrant and Refugees (DMR), the observed layout showed single rooms, occupied by families, housing on each floor, one totally broken communal male and female toilet, plus two washing areas. The intention was to remodel the previous school dormitory used as Collective Center, into an apartment building. The alteration required the search of new shelter space for several condominium-occupants, as more inhabitants were living in the inspected building then the new planned layout could accommodate in future.
