As of next academic year, students staying at the "Goce Delcev" dormitory will be able to live in a dorm like their colleagues of the most developed countries in EU.
The reconstruction of this dormitory, the first after several decades, is being carried out intensively. There are construction workers and dust all over the building.
The Telegraf.mk crew went to see how the work is progressing, and they assure that this is going to be one of the best dorms in the country.
Since the majority of the students have already gone to their hometowns, builders can work with no interruptions.
Block A is under reconstruction at the moment, and is being renovated completely. Builders are installing new windows, electric installation, toilettes, floors...
Dormitory officials are hoping that most of the construction works will be completed by fall, and students will gradually be transferred to the B block, which has already been renovated.
Upon entering, it is noticeable that a lot of work has been done. New elevators have been installed, and the dorm rooms resemble small hotel suites. New beds, windows, desks, mini-fridge and kitchenette, new radiators.
All rooms have wireless internet, and video system has been put up in the hallways in order to monitor and prevent the damage made by some residents.
The reading room where students study for their exams has been renovated as well, providing new computers and a printer. The library now provides new textbooks in Macedonian and Albanian.
Blocks C and D, are next up for renovation, and are closed, and are unavailable for accommodation.
The complete reconstruction of this dorm, with a capacity of 303 beds, is planned to be over by next year. All other student dormitories are also under construction, while "Medicinar" will not be renovated, but rather built all over again, since it is in really bad condition.
