Construction History
BCIS Phuket opened its doors to students for the first academic year on September 4th 2017.
The first phase was built in 10 weeks, on 2.5 rai of land.
The original plan :
The second phase, due to open in September a year later, in September 2018, was meant to be built on 13 Rai of land. Initially, the plan was to create parking spaces over the existing first phase and have the phase 2 building built on the remaining area (10.5 rai).
The project below shows BCIS Phuket’s original plan, presented to parents in September 2017.
The revised project design :
In December 2017, our owners and founders, Mrs and Mr Nittaya and Laurent Minguely decided to considerably increase the project’s capacity by purchasing another nine rai of land, next to the existing first phase.
Phase 2 :
With Phase 1 successfully completed and fully functional, BCIS focused on the upcoming launch of Phase 2, which represented the aquatic, sports and parking area. This project is now complete and operational.
