Renovation of shared washrooms at the University of Athens Theology School has been completed, while work continues at the Philosophy and Science schools on the Zografou campus. The Education Ministry reported this progress on November 11 following a visit by minister Sofia Zacharaki.

The project has an initial budget of €1.5 million and is funded through the National Development Programme. According to the announcement, it provides for full renovation of 249 washrooms, repairs to another 326 and the creation of 11 facilities for people with disabilities.

The interventions include building, plumbing and electrical work, replacement of worn installations and equipment, and accessibility improvements. They concern shared student washrooms and facilities for people with disabilities, rather than every toilet in each building.

For the Philosophy and Science schools, the ministry gives a completion horizon of 2027 without a specific handover date. Completion at Theology should therefore not be understood as completion of the entire project.

The new development concerns progress on this particular intervention. Broader building and student residence funding mentioned by the ministry covers separate projects and should not be added to the initial €1.5 million washroom budget as if it were the cost of these works.
