Caragiale\u201d National College, as part of a partnership that brings a historically significant building for the local community back into public use and transforms it into a modern educational facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The property, previously owned by Rompetrol Rafinare and used several decades ago as a nursery for the children of employees of the Vega Refinery, has been made available to the Municipality of Ploie\u0219ti free of charge for a period of five years. Following this period, the building will be transferred into the municipality\u2019s ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facility will accommodate 120 primary school students, helping to expand the city\u2019s educational infrastructure and increase the capacity of local schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEducation is one of the most important investments a company can make in a community. We are pleased that a building which was once part of the history of the Vega Refinery is today regaining its role in supporting children and families in Ploie\u0219ti. This project demonstrates that sustainable development means more than industrial investment \u2013 it also means investing in people, education and strong partnerships with local authorities, creating long-term value for the community,\u201d said Sorin Graure, General Manager of Rompetrol Rafinare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ploie\u0219ti City Hall carried out the renovation and adaptation works required to transform the building into an educational facility, with the municipality\u2019s investment exceeding RON 1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rompetrol provided an additional investment of more than RON 700,000, covering the technical support required to meet fire safety standards and obtain the necessary permits, the modernization of the heating system, the refurbishment of the courtyard and green spaces, as well as the installation of an irrigation system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The school has a built-up area of 718 square metres, four classrooms and a courtyard covering more than 2,200 square metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project represents a concrete example of collaboration between the private sector and local authorities, with the shared objective of improving educational infrastructure and creating a modern, safe and welcoming environment for children in the Ploie\u0219ti community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rompetrol and Ploie\u0219ti City Hall have inaugurated the new primary school premises of the \u201cI.L.
