Flexais Project Begins Construction of Daycare School

The facility will cover 800 m² and accommodate 120 students
Maceió, September 10, 2024 - Construction has started on the Flexais daycare school. Located at Avenida Faustino da Silveira, the new facility will have a built-up area of 800 m² and will accommodate 120 students ranging from infants to six-year-olds. The site will feature specialized spaces for students, parents, and teachers, such as a sensory park, solarium, personal and pedagogical support rooms, a diaper-changing area, nursing room, rest areas, and parking. The facility will also feature rooms for teachers, administrative staff, and service providers, along with a pantry, kitchen, dining hall, covered patio, changing rooms, restrooms, and laundry facilities.
The construction of the daycare school is part of the "Education, Sports, Leisure, and Environment" initiative of the Flexais Project. This project is the result of an Agreement signed in October 2022 among the Municipality of Maceió, the Federal Public Ministry, the Public Ministry of the State of Alagoas, the Federal Public Defender's Office, and Braskem, and aims to implement a series of initiatives for urban integration and regional development in Flexais.
The construction uses the Steel Frame method, which consists of galvanized steel structures treated to prevent corrosion, and thermo-acoustic walls and roofs that help control temperature and sound. This method also optimizes construction time. The building adheres to accessibility standards, featuring ramps, tactile flooring, and spaces adapted for people with disabilities.
The executive project adheres to Ministry of Education guidelines and has been tailored to local requirements with input from experts from the Municipality of Maceió. The teams involved in the construction work at Flexais from 7 am to 5 pm, Mondays to Fridays.
Public Services, Communal Spaces, and Commercial Areas
In addition to the daycare school, construction is underway for a new Basic Health Unit (UBS), as well as road upgrades on Rua Tobias Barreto, Rua Faustino Silveira, and Praça Nossa Senhora da Conceição. Soon, work will begin on the Commercial Center and Market Space, the Fishermen Support Center, the installation of a pier providing access to Lagoa Mundaú, and the public lighting upgrade, which has already received new lights and a modernized electrical grid.
Alongside ongoing construction, various measures are being implemented, including urban cleaning, pest control, surveillance, a dedicated and free bus route for Flexais residents, school transportation, and psychological support services. Security cameras have been installed in the area, and Flexal Space has been established to house municipal offices that provide direct services to the community.

Commitments to Maceió
The Flexais Project initiatives are among the 10 commitments to Maceió, as reaffirmed by Braskem, with many in an advanced stage of implementation or already completed. These commitments span across social, urban, and environmental fronts, forming part of the five principal agreements signed between Braskem and authorities in recent years. Most of these agreements were established following consultations with public authorities, society, and affected communities.
Braskem created the Compromissos com Maceió [Commitments to Maceió] platform to ensure transparency and enable the community to track all these initiatives and programs. Learn more about our commitments at https://www.braskem.com/compromissosmaceio where contents are constantly updated.
