The 2Rs Campaign began with a plan to replace the school’s roof, but expanded to a full building restoration as deeper structural issues were uncovered.

The project began with the re-roofing of the AWMS Main Administration Building and the School Hall. This critical first step addressed long-standing structural concerns and set the foundation for what would become a much broader restoration effort.

The original timber floors were removed and replaced with reinforced concrete slabs to enhance structural integrity. This phase included ancillary works and addressed several age-related vulnerabilities in the 19th-century building.

Restoration of the building’s electrical wiring and plumbing systems brought the infrastructure up to modern safety standards. This phase also included ceiling repairs to ensure long-term functionality and comfort.

Interior and exterior walls of the administration building—across both floors—were painted to restore the school’s historic beauty. This cosmetic enhancement followed the completion of all major structural repairs.

The final phase included installing steel doors, replacing wooden-framed windows with steel casement models, and placing ventilation blocks. Rectangular hollow-section steel balustrades and stair handrails were added for safety and design consistency.
