The contract works for the painting and maintenance of the old Graça Convent Church start on Thursday. The building currently houses the Academy of Arts.
The contract work was awarded by the Regional Government, through the Regional Directorate for Infrastructures and Inland Transports, to the company Tachinha & Filhos LDA. The works comprise the painting and the maintenance of the roof of the old Graça Convent Church.
One should recall that the Academy of Arts of the Azores has developed its activities in this building since 1981. The former convent, located at the Largo de Camões, Ponta Delgada, also houses the Ponta Delgada Regional Conservatory and the Luís de Camões Auditorium.
The works are intended to ensure the adequate maintenance of the building where the Academy of Arts is installed and its safety.
The contract work has a completion period of 60 days.
