The Ministry in a release said that the building was established in 1887 and that rehabilitation works on this building will be done in accordance with Chapter 20:03 of the National Trust Act 7 of 1972, which is to restore and preserve national heritage.

During the recent opening of tenders, some of the projects which the money was budgeted for were opened.
Below are the projects and their bids:
Rehabilitation to Training School at Eve Leary – Guyana Police Force.
