After the heavy rainstorm on Tuesday, the floating school which is situated in Makoko, Yaba area of Lagos, collapsed. The weak structure which had survived several storms before, finally caved in yesterday. There were no casualties as the students had reportedly been relocated to a main school building before this incident. Plans to construct a new structure in the Waterfront community are already in place.

After 3 years of intensive use, and exceptional service to the community, the first prototype structure Makoko Floating School has come down on June 7, 2016. Following its decommission since March, the structure has been out of use in anticipation of reconstruction. We confirm that there were no casualties and the students had been relocated to the main school building since its decommission & pending reconstruction.

NLÉ, Makoko waterfront community and potential stakeholders were already considering the upgrading of the structure with a copy of MFS II - a new, improved iteration, which was recently launched at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. The project was awarded the Silver Lion prize for "a powerful demonstration, be it in Lagos or in Venice, that architecture, at once iconic and pragmatic, can amplify the importance of education”.

NLÉ Team and Makoko community.
