On Thursday, The strong gusts of wind took a toll on the Event Hall of Otilio Ulate Blanco School in Zarcero.
The building -a historical site in Alajuela- had severe problems in its infrastructure, because it did not resist the ravages of the strong winds and ended up collapsing.
According to Gustavo Alfaro, director of the educational center, the event happened at around 5:30 am, and in addition, two preschool classrooms were also affected.
The room had restricted use, therefore, the graduation of the previous year was the last activity carried out in this place.
The last steps were already being carried out with the DIEE (Directorate of Infrastructure and Educational Equipment), at the beginning of February this year we began remodeling it. There was already talk with the Emergency Commission and the DIEE,”
said Alfaro.
The National Meteorological Institute (IMN) reported that the windy conditions are due to the transit of the cold thrust number 20 that has mostly affected the Central Valley, the North Pacific and the mountain ranges.
