Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The federal government has allocated more than 57 million pesos (approximately $3 million) for the construction of a new technical high school in Playa del Carmen, officials announced.

The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT) awarded the contract to H3 Ingeniería y Construcción S.A. de C.V. through a national public tender. The company has 210 days to complete the project, starting June 18.

The new campus of the Centro de Bachillerato Tecnológico Industrial y de Servicios (CBTIS) No. 309 will span more than 3,400 square meters. It will include nine general classrooms, each with capacity for 50 students; a multifunctional science laboratory; a computer lab; and three specialized workshops in Tourism Management and Innovation, Business Intelligence, and Artificial Intelligence.

Additional facilities include a covered multipurpose court with a self-supporting arch roof, administrative offices, a security booth, institutional restrooms, and a perimeter fence. The school will also feature water fountains with purification systems and a rainwater harvesting system connected to a cistern and a potable water tank.

The campus will be located at the intersection of Avenida Constituyentes and Avenida Loros in the Paseos de Sisal neighborhood.

The project aims to expand upper-secondary education options with a technical and scientific focus, providing students with tools to meet current challenges and enhance their personal and professional development opportunities.
