Renovation project at Richmond College

One of the oldest monumental buildings of Richmond College, Galle, the 'L-block' is pleading for help. This building has been erected by the British over 100 years ago and it has given shelter to many Richmandites during their schooldays.

Walls of this building are now abraded all over with plaques of cement falling down. It had not seen a new coat of paint for long years, the skeleton of the roof, windows and the doors are dilapidating.

It is glad to note that Richmond College Union, Colombo 70-80 Group has undertaken the responsibility of renovating this building.

The projected cost of the renovation is around Rs. 2.0 mn. A separate fund has been established to collect donations from old boys and other well-wishers and a fair number of old boys have already contributed to this fund. Arrangements are under way to commence the renovation work tomorrow at 9.30 a.m.
