Ashghal plans new schools, parks and healthcare projects

Ashghal, the Public Works Authority, is set to roll out a new package of infrastructure and public service projects in Qatar, as outlined in the State's Internal Achievements Book for 2025-2026. The plans include fire safety upgrades at 50 additional schools, the construction of new classrooms at 16 schools, and the development of storage facilities for the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.

The authority is also planning to demolish and reconstruct two schools, Muadh bin Jabal School and Rawdat Rashid School, and improve the facilities of the Community College of Qatar in Lusail. Furthermore, Ashghal is coordinating with the Ministry of Finance to tender several new projects covering sports facilities, healthcare centres, maintenance works, and new buildings.

The projects aim to support infrastructure development and improve the operational efficiency of public facilities. Additionally, urban beautification is a major component of the upcoming programme, with plans to construct an outdoor air-conditioned walkway and landscaping works at Qatar University, establish six parks in various neighborhoods, and improve walking facilities around Al Karaana Village.

Ashghal also plans to introduce digital technologies, such as digital twin technology for drainage networks, and establish a solar power station with a capacity of 2.2 megawatts at the North Doha Station.
