If we secure full funding, the entire Hedaya School & Islamic Center can be built together, with construction expected to take about 3-4 years to complete. (Contingent on funds availability)
Due to funds availability and city code requirements regarding vital infrastructure like the School Shelter and mechanical systems. If full funds are available, we can begin constructing the entire Hedaya School & Islamic Center, all at once.
Once this phase is complete, we can start a pre / elementary startup school.
The rest of the school classrooms & buildings will be added as funds become available, while the community is using the already finished facility.
After the completion of the School Shelter & Gym, work will begin on the foundation and related items for the rest of the building shell.
